A child, ten years old which the drunken dads couldn't care less, was playing in the backyard when decided that would try to set the house hold pet on fire. There was a smell of gasoline in the air, from a earlier spill in the neighbour's cistern, but this child never learned to measure its actions.
The neighbour watched in horror as this scene unfolds but remembered that simple phrase in the Law Enforcement Corp. contract, "Services provided on aggression or imminent aggression". The kid might not be able to put the cat on fire, the cat might run to other side, the gasoline vapours might not be enough to trigger an fire, the explosion might not hurt anyone - the neighbour hoped.
Sometimes I really miss the old ways - sighed this anarcho-capitalist utopia dweller.
Some questions:
- Do children have the same rights as able people?
- How/when do children become able people?
- Does cruelty against animals has any penalty?
- The risk of property/body damage doesn't allow aggression?
The common understanding of natural rights has eerie answers or no answers at all to this questions.
