Dear Lurker,

While you are unwilling to come out and say so, you feel you have a right
(yes I use that word quite intentionally with you here) to some portion of
my life.

For all your fine words and careful (albeit wrong) reasoning, you would have
me be your slave.


Please be specific in pointing out the error in my reasoning.

Is a debtor a slave?

You really ought to broaden your outlook to include complicated social
relationships that do not fit into a simple "contract" arrangement.

You over value the weight of your labor in relation to what you receive in
return for it from the society that contributes much to the value of your
labor. It is a common error made by folks who put forth your argument.

But as you say, not enough persons take your argument seriously, and it will
never be the basis of any enduring society -- for it is anti-human.

The Founders view of the matter is consonant with mine -- so I guess the
deaths of all those people is on their heads, too...

Regards
