[Arlo previously] How does a "free market" provide a "court system" without "the coercive nature"?
[Nick] It is human nature to reason. As social animals most people pursue to minimize conflict in their actions, unless they criminal. The court system does not need coercion to operate. People gladly want justice for the most part. [Arlo] They do. And that's why we have governance. And the courts. As for "the court system does not need coercion to operate", just try not showing up the next time you are sued. [Arlo] How would a "free market" provide wildlife conservation without "coercion" by evil little forest rangers with the backing of guvmint guns? How would the "free market" provide "police"? And while we have "toll roads", I certainly don't want to live in a world where I have to stop every minute or so to pay someone's "toll" to cross their "private property". [Nick] Easy, people want these things now. You don't need to coerce people to have this happen. [Arlo] They do, and that's why we have governance and government regulation of public lands, conservation and hunting lands. No coercion? Tell that to the guy who wants to build a house in your favorite state park. Tell that to the hunter who wants to bag unlimited kills. [Nick] And who said you would have to pay every minute - that's a non-sequitur. [Arlo] You'd have to pay whatever toll the "property/road owner" wanted you to pay to cross his land. Each time you entered someone else's space, you'd have to pay them. Sound like fun to you?
