You did implicitly via the social contract.

  > You did implicitly via the social contract. In every other contract, I'm not bound if the other side doesn't satisfy its obligations. Also, there's a concept of a "meeting of the minds". The social contract isn't a contract. It's a promise to use force.

    I didn't say I idealistically agreed, but that's the theory anyway. I sort of like Lysander Spooner's argument in No Treason* that social contracts are false justifications because there's no opt-out program. The practicality of such an idea, however, is another question (to which none of us know the answer because it has never existed). * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Treason http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Treason
