"If it was acquired illegally, prove it."

We do prove it -- just under a different standard of proof.

"you never did say what you thought was wrong with the actual arguments"

Just that they are a misrepresentative sample of cases that I do not have the time to address or dispute.

You, on the other hand, seem to consider web sites like these as gospel and indicative of the way things are.

If an asset was acquired illegally, how are we punishing the illegal owner if we take it away?

Paulsen uses the prohibitionists 'standard of proof'. - That certain objects are inherently evil, and that society can decree them to be 'illegal'.

Uh huh, different as in lower. Now, what about that "illegal" owner you were talking about? You remember, the one against whom no charges had been filed? The one never convicted of anything, whose property was taken? Got any comment on the court citation I posted which says he is being punished because of illegality?
