But every once in a while, theres a real gem, like this missive from someone who disagreed with my old blog post on libertarianism and the non-aggression principle: --- read your article here libertarianism.org/blog/six-reasons-libertarians-should-reject-non-aggression-principle I have to say, your nothing but a smart ass who doesnt understand what agression is. You try to come off sounding smart but end up sounding like a smug know it all. Here, let me explain something to you, agresssion is NOT comprised solely of phsyical force or coercion.

Passive-aggressive behavior Letting your child starve to death is indeed agression, its passive-agressive. You are knowingly (and intentionally) causing harm through your inaction. There you have it, when you include all types of agression into the NAP then your arguments fall apart. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive%E2%80%93aggressive_behavior Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility, such as through procrastination, sarcasm, stubbornness, sullenness, or deliberate or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible. --- There I have it.
