Why libertarians don't own their own bodies

I’ve been intending for some time to respond at length to the libertarian-bashing of Richard Chapple from the ‘Philosophy et cetera’ blog, about which I referred here. So I have. At some length. Here.

I commend it to your attention.

  1. Philosophy student??? Oh God... if I didn't have such respect for Richard Goode, I would be exercising my right to say nasty things and to laugh condesendingly

  2. Robin - ha, yeah, reckon, who needs to think? Why, that might get in the way of our right to show off our pig ignorance!

    PC - Cheers. I've got a detailed response of my own, here.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
