  A Pox On All Their Houses  Tuesday, March 28, 2006  While
we're at it...   Monday, March 27, 2006  Reiteration and
Clarification, Part I  I'd like to re-iterate, and hopefully
clarify, my position on this thing of ours, so you know what
you're getting into.  First of all, I'd like to say that I am a
libertarian by definition, not by identity. What I mean here is
that I am only a libertarian because the definition fits me. I
don't make a conscious effort to fit into a libertarian set of
check boxes. (I used to, but I've grown past that, I think, or I
just grew tired of it maybe)  What I do believe is that everyone
owns themself. No one else owns anyone else, even in tiny little
parts. You can try to nit-pick that with me, and that can be a
fun game, but I'm certainly not going to take it seriously. That
is the line in the sand that I've drawn. And I mean this in an
ethical sense. In any other sense, ownership of another person
is ridiculously impossible. You can't get me to do anything
without my consent on
