You've learned your newspeak well, my friend: "Gershom's slavery is
absolute liberty."
(If I were you, I wouldn't be slinging mud at others for taking what you
characterize as extremist views, but do as you will, please.)
Keep slammin' Walker and her colleagues-- the continuing ad hominem attack
on that group of scholars shows you foax at your
best

Do the Libertarians really believe that slavery should be legal?
Some do, you bet! Many Libertarians of the anarcho-capitalist variety
believe that you can't really own something unless you can sell it.
Therefore, since you own yourself you can sell yourself. They have no
problems with selling yourself into slavery as long as it is "voluntary"
(i.e. as long as you are starving and see no other way to get food, for
instance.) Some Libs will indignantly claim that they don't believe in
slavery. Usenet threads on the subject generally reveal that at least 1/3
of Libertarians support slavery and think that it should be legal for one
human being to
own another.
