This dialogue does beg the question of whether it is even meaningful
to speak of "rights" in an anarcho-capitalist society. You could almost
define rights in such a system as whatever you can get away with —
though on the positive side, the ecology of the marketplace would tend
to prevent people from getting away with most things generally
considered unreasonable (or dissuade people from trying them in the
first place).

But if I may jump ahead, rights are just an agreement among men.
I agree. Then how should we interpret your statement that:
"Yes, he has the right to juggle with the vial full of virus."?As a proposed system of mutual law and consent, which is just my
proposal, although I think it is similar to that of many people,
especially libertarians.In the general agreement of laws, I would suspect that the line should
be drawn ("should"=my opinion) such that this person DOES have the
right. However, the laws wouldn't be drawn with this scenerio in mind,
or at least they wouldn't be drawn with EVERY real scenerio in mind,
since there are altogether too many scenerios to consider.Under the agreements of which men?
Do you mean if it were up to you to decide?It should never be up to me to decide, but if I had a vote, yes.
However, agreements are just that. And pragmatism is still king. I
might just violate the bastards rights, in the name of selfish gain.So you would not grant the person that right? I'm unclear on your
position.So am I.
However, I might vote for granting them this right, and
then willfully illegally take it away. Because laws can't possibly
predict every real situation.I want to stress that this situation is very strained. The likelyhood
that I would feel the need to commit an act against my proported legal
stance is vanishingly small, and negligable, but still lurks there. I
am human.-Mike
