What's at the Heart of What Libertarians are Selling? Comprehend, embrace, be consistent to, and promote this: 'Reciprocal physical comprehensive autonomy for each person' refers to a society in which each person is sovereign (aka individual sovereignty) over a physical domain that consists of their own body and honestly held possessions; and a 'truce' on physical aggression by one person against another. That does not necessarily describe an atomistic society with no interactions between these 'sovereign domains' It just means that any physical interaction must be CONSENSUAL rather than the only alternative option, COERCIVE. Libertarians advocate a 'consensual society' over the 'coercive society' of authoritarians. Libertarianism's 'physical aggression truce' premise (aka NAP 'non-aggression principle' & ZAP 'zero aggression principle') thus accommodates a just and broad array of choices by free moral agents EXCEPT for the INITIATION, or credible threat of initiation, of physical force against the person or justly acquired possessions of another. also see 'LIMITED vs UNIVERSAL Libertarianism' at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/56213 Libertarians are NOT 'know it alls' so it's now up to some of you in the audience to tell us, how consistency to this principle would improve that part of society in which YOU are the expert. -Terry Liberty Parker 'Real World' famous LIBERTARIAN community experiment at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LibertyProspects/message/2569 --- In [email protected], K B <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nationalism is neither statism nor socialism! > Maintaining our national sovereignty is what enables us to exercise our individual rights. The foreign invasion is not just that of ethnicity: it is of ideas, such as an entitlement society which does not recognize individual rights and responsibilities. These ideals re becoming predominant in this country due in part, to the export of poverty to our country from Mexico, and the socialist mentality of Mexican peasantry. Examples are land redistribution and sanctuary, imported directly from Mexico and Latin America. Yes, these ideas are from Europe, but in Texas, they come largely from Mexico. Then there is the role of students and student demonstrations. Being Libertarian does not mean that we are cowards who refuse to defend this country and our freedoms. It does not mean that we accept no responsibility, and it does not mean that we are anarchists.
