So I, as a libertarian, could say that anybody who sets foot on my
property is my slave? I don't think so. A libertarian does not
confiscate the liberties of those who are invited on the libertarian's
property. Free association requires an emphasis on freedom. A
libertarian must trust those he/she invites on his or her property
enough to leave them in full posession of their liberties or else
he/she is no libertarian. "Oh, you can be free, but not in MY back
yard." I don't think so.
