“societal compact”

I see, but I think it goes to human nature (natural law) and not just a society.

I don’t believe in magical contracts, however. Just cuz I’m born in your vicinity does not mean I entered into a contract with you—I certainly can’t sign any contract with my stubby little infant fingers.

I’m beginning to think freedom has to be forced on humanity—they keep defaulting to slavery, even when they are presently free. A very odd thing to witness.

So, if what’s best for them is their freedom I would think a system based on individual freedom is one worth ‘enforcing’.

Once you agree to live within a Nation, you have to adhere to their societal compact - called laws and legislation and mores. You CAN always move elsewhere if you don't like that particular societal compact. Think Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Costa Rico, shall I name more you can move to?

Not sure I can argue that point.

Thanks for making my point.
