Found this: <http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=1776>
I don't think you say a single word about property, let alone property
rights as a foundation, though. For what it's worth: in fact, I agree
strongly with your conclusion in that case. The weak link you point out is
indeed weak, but granting that, or even not granting it, I definitely agree
that all people have rights which we must respect, and that initiating force
as a way of solving disputes is unacceptable. But I don't see any necessary
link to property.
Also: <http://www.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=3136>, but you don't put
forth a very convincing argument there. ("Take that as a given.") *grin*
