Yeah ,but in the real world , it is not like that it works Michael. Libertarian have a problem with that ... The real world...<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
care to elaborate? What is it about 'the real world' that prevents the idea that 'it is wrong to initiate force against another' from being the basis of social interaction? I would say that a super-majority of folks in the world agree with that statement. So what then prevents it from being used as a test for rights abuses, for governmental powers?
Just because the current state of affairs is different as far as laws and governmental powers, does NOT mean that it cannot change if a 'better' way is discovered... these things/attitudes change daily... to stick one's head in the sand and just proclaim, "Thats not the way it is now so it will never be" is pure ignorancy. There is nothing wrong with trying to change the system towards one that YOU believe would work better... if your imagination needs some stimulation or more 'real world' examples, then keep an eye on both New Hampshire and Costa Rica...
