Without going through a 380+ post thread, I don't quite understand what you were proposing? Were you asking libertarians to argue for government intervention in such a question? A libertarian would argue the opposite. It's not the government's place to protect you from your own bad choices. Were you to enter into such an agreement as the result of trickery by the other party, then that would be another matter. The government does have a role in preventing the agressive use of force by one party upon another and fraud is an agressive use of force.

The government also has a constitutional mandate to prevent slavery operating under the guise of contract or debt. See the 13th Amendment.

I'm trying to see whether it's fair for me to say that Libertarians support the return of indentured servitude. Based on this thread, they seem to support the idea, with the exception of tpaine, who seems to depart from libertarian ideology to justify his opposition. But I'm still waiting for others to clarify their position. I don't want to be unfair in characterizing people, which is why everything has been done in the open on the forum.
