JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Could you elaborate as to why not?

That's a question with as many answers as there are non-libertarian theories of ethics.

As a simple example I'll refer you to Locke's A Letter Concerning Toleration.

(note, the first bit of that is an actual question)

What "objective laws of X" do you refer to?
