[Smile-n-Win]

Could you give an example?

Speeding is what immediately comes to my mind, thought I guess that would be handled somehow in a Libertarian society.

Let's make it prostitution then. That danged hooker is allowed to make money by selling herself, and thus gains an unfair advantage over my daughter.

This is wrong in so many different ways.

1. Why is it any of your business how much money another person makes?

2. You think you can write laws because someone makes more money than you, in a manner in which you wouldn't work?

3. Who says the hooker is better off? Say the hooker makes more money, but suffers the result of her own poor career choice (STD's, broken marriage, shunning by the community, etc...) Who has come out ahead?

if I forbear from certain actions because they are immoral, but other people can do them unpunished, they gain an unfair advantage. What do you think of this?

Could you give an example?

Somehow? -- I doubt a 'libertarian society', based on our constitution, would handle speeding much differently then now. Why would we?

How silly. -- Move to Nevada and see for yourself what advantages 'pros' have over 'good girls'.
