This seems to exclude the right of a human to own land, which was not created by any human, and seems to make very problematical the situation where a human must give the fruits of his labor to another to avoid starving. Would the Libertarians on the net clarify these issues? -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
