As OWK and others have suggested, the initial voluntary act would render the future subjugation and captivity of the slave voluntary as well. That's how indentured servitude worked prior to our 13th Amendment.

You have their platform statement, you've seen their attempts at justification in this thread.

Rather than justifying slavery under some convoluted form, I see their arguements just being formulated in a defense of metaphysical "contract" and "rights". So what else is new?

Fair debate and honest expression of differences on politics are hearty institutions on this forum. Expecting either side to be totaly consistant in internet dialogue is ridiculous. Should I hold you responsible for inconsistancies of every poster who sides with you? Certainly not.

The historical record is clear. The Federalists ignored the cautions of the Anti-Federalists and the continuance of slavery and the eventual civil war made the 13th a politcal remedy. LOL, libertarians are politically mad, IMHO, for lots of other reasons but some word games here don't do either side any justice.
