it's actually the prevention of coercion. if any juror is willing to find a drug user guilty, that juror is attempting to initiate force against the drug user....
... Evan, Is jury duty purely voluntary? Last I heard it was not. Citizens are required to serve jury duty and are required to stay until they are released....
As I have said several times my own philosophy does not preclude "lying" in all cases. Lying to prevent others initiation of force is perfectly acceptable. ...

... Sure. But the jury would not be aggressing against you - so using force & fraud would not be self defense. ... It is, actually. An evil entity (govt with...
your "understanding" of libertarian principles is severely flawed. I most certainly CAN lie to prevent aggression against someone else. If someone knocks on...

... You say that, but I bet if 5 years from now Alana was dating a 40 year old man - you would sing a different tune. ... So 5 years from now if Alana decides...
... If a 40-year-old were to date my 11-year-old daughter, he would get a funeral, not a trial. ... One, 11-year-old simply don't choose to have orgies or work...

Andrea: I am disappointed in you. Jim and I (and others) have been writing you for years. This is so basic it's laughable. Of course there's an age of consent...
... hmmm. Well I feel condescended to. You act as though the goal is to bring me into lockstep with how you think. I do not think that you are always right...
... No, I am suggesting using persuasion (do you see where I write that word, above?) in the face of, as a response to, coercion. It's actually a logical...
