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.

I was writing 172 while you were posting 171 and didn't get a chance to read your amplification of your purpose.
I don't feel that I will ever understand libertarians. But that is my deficiency, not from their lack of trying, LOL.
Basically, your point is that your understanding of their current philosophy is that it would excuse contractural relationships like slavery?
If so, please post an example of where that extensive a view is espoused rather that trying to extrapolate their general statements to some end claim of your own.

I'm all in favor of you being allowed to do whatever stupid thing you wish. So long as you hurt only yourself, it's no one else's business.
