You’re correct. I did mean a time limit (thus, expiration date). I can see how “the following day” generates absence of aggression on the part of the thief. Tackling him the following day would be initiatory aggression on my part.
@analog: See this thread for my view on the use of force to defend any infraction of property rights. That thread was (needlessly, in my opinion) locked, but it covers the gamut well, and I hope to keep this thread open by not repeating the sentiments expressed in the linked thread.
Well, according to my new interpretation of the material, aggression met with aggression-past is initiatory, and thus evil. So, the question of “who will insure me” is a distraction, for I will probably be in jail (or be bothered with some other severe penalty for murder).
