This is a re-posting; the original vanished mysteriously.

Listen up, vulgar Libertarians:

     Torek is right-on-the-money when it comes to attempts to derive
Libertarianism from ethical Relativism.  If there is no absolute good, if
right and wrong are purely subjective, then the Libertarian non-aggression
principle (which is itself an ethical standard) is BY F***ING DEFINITION a
purely subjective precept.

                                        Even more disgusted,
