I decided to move some discussion from this post up to the top level here. Specifically, Watoosh wrote: "Well, if violence is defined as initiation of force (which, of course, presupposes certain property rights), then I think Rockwell is correct..." Well, if we define cats as elephants, then many people keep elephants in their house. More seriously, firstly, violence is not usually defined that way. It's defined as, you know, violence, so that, say, someone may respond violently or non-violently to someone who aggresses against them. Otherwise, it would make no sense to say, for instance, "He punched me, but I did not stoop to violence in response." And, secondly, the libertarian usage of "initiation of force" is very offbeat. If I wander onto someone's meadow, most people would not say I had "initiated force" -- I mean, sure, I used "force" against the earth to push off walking, but that's not force directed against...
What's your point? The process of a sports team spokesperson giving a vacuous comment? The process of the media marketing it as entertainment? The process of the consumer following up on the initial meaningless comment? Or the previous processes as one process?
ReplyDeleteA substantive sports comment is 'We plan to score points for our team while in the process of preventing the other team from scoring their own points.'
Or is it about UCONN? If so, it's not about the 'Nova game.
I think Orr has been in a lot of psychotherapy.
