If I ever figure out all of the details I'll be sure to let you know.

What a cop out.

Why wait? You'll NEVER figure out ALL the details, nor will anyone else. All
you can do is set up a system in which there is a clear, and just, way to
resolve issues, and rights are protected. That's what Libertarians are trying
to do. Claiming that you need to figure everything out is a chickening out
rather than a constructive contribution. Make a contribution, man. Get out
there and do something.

You're right, I'd actually turned off, and was about sleep when I had these
same thoughts - it was a total cop out and I am afraid to air some of my
tentative ideas. But I turned on the light an logged back on so that I could,
as it's only fair.. but in a new thread so that I can see the dots again..
