1. Someone takes an object from you that you have purchased through
	normal economic channels against your will and/or without
	your knowledge.

2. Someone physically harms you or a loved one in some way, resulting
	in physical injury, permanent or otherwise, against the will
	of the person injured.

3. Someone deliberately prevents you from engaging in an action of
	your choice that affects only you (and/or other consenting persons).

4. A person or persons engage in deliberate psychological manipulation to
	get you to hold certain beliefs (for profit or otherwise) that
	are counter to your current understanding and known facts.

5. Someone does something that does not do you any harm as in any of the
	above examples, but which you have a distaste or dislike for, for
	whatever reason.

6. A large number of cars in the rightmost lane of a superhighway passing
	by at the point of entrance at an "on-ramp" prevent you from getting
	on the highway.

7. A group of people engage freely in a practice that you feel is "immoral",
	though it doesn't fall into the aforementioned categories as
	used as criteria for #5, and what's more they engage in it without
	shame, openly, even in public.

8. Someone walks by you with a red shirt on.

Obviously some of these examples are redundant.  But it would make an
interesting exercise to delineate the interfering actions (that would be
restricted in a minimal non-interference-based morality) from the
non-interfering actions (that wouldn't).  I'm especially interested in
hearing how certain people in particular might justify calling certain
actions "interfering", or otherwise worthy of restriction.
