4 Quick Questions:
1. Race
Under libertarian principles, would one have the right discriminate against
others based on race?
2. Slave
Under libertarian principles, would one have the right sell oneself into
slavery?
3. Regulation
Would medical doctors etc be regulated to ensure their competence? Or could
one just buy a medical degree from a University, and open a practice?
4. Game Shows
Would TV companies be able to air "The Running Man" type shows where
volunteer contestants fight each other to death?
These points were largly adapted from this page:

| I'm answering based on what I think is right and wrong, and how Christopia (not Libertopia) would be. I suspect that many Libertarians agree.
