I guess you don’t know what the term means if you think it has anything to do with marxism. In my sophmore level business law class, they covered it a lot. It’s the same reason the government taxes us for the mlitary, which you seemed to not complain about. I don’t either.

I’d go look up the term, the wikipedia entry on it is fairly good. Being against social contract theory basically means you’re against the US constitution as it was one of the earliest forms of it after the French revolution.

Hmmmmm, did I say Marxism?

Social contract IS a theory. It is applied as seen fit in a given situation.
And is used by libs, a lot.

So I’m just going to let your posts stand on their own. Gotta make Dad his PB&J for lunch. Bye!

Um - the French Revolution? Are you implying that the French Revolution had an impact on the Constitution?

Lastly - "Social Contract" is used today to mean something ENTIRELY different that that which was meant 300+ years ago - kind of like the word liberal has changed meaning dramatically.
