You don't get to decide a priori that their rights aren't being violated by your actions.

[/ QUOTE ]

And you do?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, someone has to. When your entire political philosophy is that individual rights can't be violated, then individual rights need to be defined.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
You are defining an "actual" violation of rights based on your decision as to what my rights are. I say that you don't get to decide for me what my rights are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please explain how I can violate your rights without interacting with you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am claiming that you are interacting with me. If you get to define when you are and are not interacting with me, then you can just come and take all my property and say "I'm not interacting with you. Sorry, you don't get to contest that assertion."

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, I agree with this. I don't know how you made the jump from "the need for arbitration of definition of rights" to "a central authority defines rights for everyone".

[/ QUOTE ]

There's no need to arbitrate a difference of opinion between us if we are not interacting.

[/ QUOTE ]

Even when our difference of opinion is whether or not we are interacting? That doesn't make sense.

[ QUOTE ]
By saying we must pre-emptively decide this question, you're initiating interaction.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except that I am claiming that you have already initiated interaction. Again, if you steal something of mine and I say "Hey, you're interacting with me!", you can't turn around and say "Your claim that I am interacting with you is initiation of interaction! Help, help, I'm being repressed!"

[ QUOTE ]
A dictator who dictates over exactly one person - me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Incorrect. As noted earlier, you are also dictating over me by claiming what my rights are and are not.
