James B., just as there are scapegoated people who take the fall for the rest of us, so is the opposite true - that there are 'savior' people we look to save us from the fall. So to with principles. Libertarians would enforce no violence [itself a contradiction] when violence has been shown throughout ... forever ... to be a necessary option to liberty.

Property is another inconsistency. While we all enjoy freedom through our bodies, we are too often enslaved to our possessions. What 1 principle can reconcile these inherent contradictions? Add the impact to others of our enslavement and liberty exponentially disappears.

Any principle conceivable contains the seeds of its destruction and perversion, within itself and its followers - including the principle of liberty.
