Hmm. That raises an interesting larger question about Libertarianism
that I hope somebody smarter than me can answer-- how would
transfer/sale/inheritance of stolen goods be handled in Libertopia?
Does it automatically revert to the original owner if they can prove
that they are, or would 'posession is nine tenths' prevail? Also, do
Libertarians support inheritance of debt?
