My critique goes along with gotlucky’s recommendation on clarification of Negative Right’s from the onset. As well as Self-Ownership, and his clarification on private property right’s. I say the Private Property Right’s for the purpose of pointing out that if this right is denied to anyone, then slavery is surely to follow.
I would add that your usage of Morality is off base. See my thread here : Ethics versus Morals
I say this on Morality, as Natural Right’s are a set of Principled Ethic’s that are inherited at the moment of conception. Morality is the singling out of a certain position and is definitive of justifiable Right and Wrong, which doesn’t exist outside the individual human’s perception. Justifiable action’s lead to further greivances conducted by the action’s of the state, and I don’t see anyone Individual being able to hold their responsibility when they are acting on the basis of Justification.
I would recommend you clarify this so called social contract, and point out more of the fallacy with that idea as well. I like the part on the whole idea of a “Living Contract”. That’s been a point of contention of mine since I heard that idea in High School at the same time I was learning about binding contract theory on my own. The whole idea seemed prone to failure, and now I see it as a scapegoat for further justification (there’s that word again) of state action’s.
Of course it’s your article, and you have the right to alter it as you see fit.
