Lynch" I was speaking of *our* society. Does that mean that libertarianism only works for *our* society? Isn't libertarianism for everybody? WLIM: Should duels be regulated in such a society? KFL: No. WLIM: When is a duel legit in such a society? KFL: Whenever all parties to such a duel give informed consent. Hmm, let me see if I can make you think a little more carefully on this. Suppose McCoy showed in the sheriff's office with a dead Hatfield and a witness X. X told the sheriff that McCoy and Hatfield had a dual and Hatfield lost. It the duel legit? Suppose that X is McCoy Sr. Is it still legit? By the way you still have not answered my question. What other cultures should individuals be exposed to in order to understand libertarianism?
