I would say that a minarchist "watchman" state would certainly extort much less and only extort where the requirement and justification for it is strongest. Either we are using the term "extortion" in such dramatically different ways that it impedes serious conversation, or you've dug yourself a rhetorical hole and rather than admit it you just keep digging deeper, or, well, I don't know what else, Tim. Perhaps we should walk away from this for awhile. I don't see that we are progressing anywhere. The discussion is civil; it's just not a discussion. Just short assertions.
