Dear Lurker,

Rights is such a useless word when used in the abstract.

So let's take a concrete example from your dream Republic.

They would be unable at all to award damages of any kind, and they would be
equally unable to deprive any person of their libery or property in any way
at all.

This means that a person who has had to default on a loan and lost his
equipment in a bank forfeiture because another person broke a contract and
did not pay him in a timely manner has no recourse to "damages". In an
impersonal Republic of 300 million people it would be no great deterent to
have a "bad reputation", and thus short term fraud would be quite
profitable, wouldn't it?
