Right...

"Thanks for clarifying your idea of a free and just society."

He repeatedly proclaims that I don't have the natural right to refuse forced servitude from the state and that if the state decides I must do something unconscionable to another person, I have no natural right to object...

And he sees no contradiction when he declares his opposition to slavery. lol

Where slavery is practiced in a culture, it is subject to the laws of the society which justifies it...And, which proclaim freedoms for everyone within the limitations of its law.

Free and just is not in favor of one person's natural rights over another's. The idea of one person's natural rights 'trumping' another's is a contradiction in terms.
