on issues to that one concept. Any disagreements we may have are on

Abortion come to mind as issues we divide on, but even though we
argue, it is over "is preventing abortion more of an initiation of
force than the abortion itself?" or "is the death penalty an
initiation of force or a legitimate retaliation to another's
initiation of force?"

government a wonderful conduit for predatory land acquisition.

Media Fails Public on Jackson Case
by Wendy McElroy
Should the public pass judgment on Michael Jackson's recent arrest

guilty"? This is the court of opinion versus the court of law
debate. It misses the point. Of course, Jackson's possible guilt
should be discussed. The real question is how to conduct the public
debate so that it does not reduce the probability of justice.
