  I was already building a reply to that. What it seems to boil down to is "I know that I can't define my terms and I know that we don't agree about morality but god-dammit my one moral principle should still be the basis of everything". Needless to say, I disagree.

    >> I know that we don't agree about morality but god-dammit my one moral principle should still be the basis of everything Ah yes, "we just disagree on morality" is a classic avoidance-technique for a Statist that refuses to accept reality. But actually, no we don't. Not if you're sane and not a sociopath. We've both got a conscience, and it usually warns us when we're doing something even somewhat wrong.

Ah yes, "if you disagree with my interpretation of morality you must be a sociopath" is a classic avoidance technique for a libertarian that refuses to accept reality. >> We've both got a conscience, and it usually warns us when we're doing something even somewhat wrong. Not everyone's conscience tells them the same thing, neither does everyone's conscience tell them that the NAP is the root rule of the universe. Even yours doesn't as you've admitted in a variety of places.
