You are constantly shifting ground when you fail to defend a point and then simply bring up another. No one is fooled by your near constant retreat. You have been hammered on virtually every argument you have brought to bear yet you never pause to consider that you might just be wrong. You just bring up another argument.

Has it occurred to you that there are genetic reason for incest laws? Regardless of any religious or cultural beliefs, incest does produce inferior offspring.

Your next red herring argument. Yes I am aware of good reasons for incest laws...just like there are good reasons for age of consent laws. By the principles you have stated both of these laws have failed in protecting children and should be replaced is that not so? The only way you could cause me to hyperventilate is by laughter from your ever more tenuous arguments.

Anarchists masquerading as libertarians typically don't understand that we have governments and laws for a reason:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
