An underlying principle in human action is an innate `physical aggression truce' which is also the underlying principle for UNIVERSAL libertarianism.
PleaseSee: What's at the Heart of What Libertarians are Selling? at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/30419 This truce gives `self-ownership' (exclusive right to determine use and disposition) by each individual person an essential material protection. That can also be phrased as: Reciprocal Physical Comprehensive Autonomy for each and every person. AlsoSee FlashAnimationAt- http://www.isil.org/resources/introduction.html Universal liberty's underlying 'physical aggression truce' principle (aka NAP/ZAP and so on) thus accommodates a just and broad array of choices by `self owning' free moral agents, except for the INITIATION, or credible threat of initiation, of physical force against the person or justly held possessions of another (note: the ban on these uses of physical force does NOT apply to all other uses) see: Your Freedom & the Rights of Others at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/22990 So, what would morally justify a person INITIATING, or doing a credible threat to initiate, physical force against the person or justly held possessions of another; AND, why should this `truce' EXCEPTION be allowable over the truce exceptions that may be wanted by someone else? Why would any truce violation be justified? -Terry Liberty Parker 'Real world' experiment in LIBERTARIAN community became famous at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LibertyProspects/message/2569 --- In [email protected], "Terry L Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Without consistency to a 'physical agression truce' the common ground > for 'liberty & justice for all' in the material world just vanishes! > > While MOST people, MOST of the time, on MOST issues, consciously or > not, will abide by this 'truce' many seek 'exceptions' for their own > causes.
