Jon, Locke, Hobbes, Roussel and  John Rawls assumed way to much in
their social contract theory but you are assuming a bit to much as
well. From the first you assume to much on the social contract between
a parent and child, while a child may owe its parents a spritual
ethical duty ( I know I do mine), it is a poor standard for legal or
political ethics,  it was the parents choice to have sex and carry the
child to term, they are he only ones that should be legally obligated
until the child can make it on his own, if a child will not live by the
parents rules, the parent should not have to live with the child but 
as  the parent is still obligated to support them until they become old
enough to make it on their on to a reasonable extent. The parent on the
other hand is not obligated to die for the child or risk their lives
for the child to a great
extent.                                                  
       the word society can be extended to much, its better to break it
down to the individuals and their dealings with other individuals, yes
there  are networks of individuals but  a certain or wholestic network
must not be assumed. It is far from to much to ask for the evidence of
a connection and why that implies a duty other than a duty not to
intatiate force. It is not to much to ask for  adults to truly discuss
and negotiate and come to a real agrement if they really want a
contract. Of cours a few things are just a custom of an area that you
can not avoid without hurting yourself or others such as which side of
the road to drive on but that is just basic good sense and common
swense.--- In [email protected], Jon Roland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
