Default Re: Best quick argument against the \"social contract\" canard

[ QUOTE ]
There isn't one. You're not born an adult but instead born as a baby and raised under the protection of the social contract. It's identical to AC land, where the existing property entitlements are forced on you at birth - you're forced to accept whoever owns the road outside your house as the legitimate owner, even though you had no say in the matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a total non sequitur.

These "existing property entitlements" are no imposition on you at all, since you have no right to any of that property to begin with. This is like saying that George Steinbrenner is imposing upon me by not letting me have the Yankees.
