    I love the Philosophy of Liberty animation, it’s a great instructional and conversation-starting tool… but I really love how it’s used here. It is so hard to disagree on any one point: “Do you own your life? If murder is stealing a person’s future, is theft of their present anything but slavery? …” and so on.

    Your engaging Q&A session with your guest is great. Her new-agey assertion that “you cannot truly lose your present, [no matter how you are imprisoned]” and that “you cannot lose your past [even if your property is taken]” were most instructive.

    How about, “OK, lady, so you don’t mind if I take your wallet, and chain you in my house to you can wash the floors; OK? Oh, so that would be a problem… heh”

    Anyway, fundamental issue is that she believes a group of people validly can take ownership of her life, even if she is harming nobody… because “Society” owns her. At least partially.

    One other thing… “hiring black hawk helicopters to attack the next town over?” How about a real example.. like, the US Police “Death Squads
