Intro to libertarian philosophy animation

Here is a clever though purposefully basic introduction to liberty animation:

Philosophy of liberty animation

I'm sure the leftist intellectuals on here will scoff at this mercilessly, as it is well beneath them. For a simpleton like me, however, I find it to be fairly well done and illustrative of fundamental political principles.

What happens when I exercise my liberty to get all liquored up and drive 110 and smash into you and your family?

Then you are deprived of your liberty, and punished for the depriving of theirs.

In my opinion, your life should be deprived as well. But...I do not have a problem with you getting liquored up or driving 110...it's the smashing into someone else that I would punish...otherwise, whose liberty has been deprived?

Cool, you own your own body and no one else can own you (unless you are an unborn baby - then someone else owns you and can kill you at will). [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

What if we both own land on a creek, and mine's upstream from yours. Can I dump my sewage directly into the creek?

Sure...as long as it doesn't affect my portion of the creek. Do what you want to with your property, as long as it doesn't affect mine. I could care less if you want your part of the creek to be a cesspool, but I better not see a turd floating in my part of the creek.

Then you should be convicted of negligent manslaughter. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you can figure out how such a scenario obviously violates the "non-initiation of force" principle.

I agree with this. Until your mother decides to give birth, you do not yet possess rights and she may kill you at her choosing.

Until you can speak, you aren't really human, and your mother may kill you at her choosing.
