[MD] NAP

[plattholden at gmail.com]

Hey Nick,

Welcome back. As you say, the implications of NAP are profound in 
regards to individual liberty. As a corollary, government has the legal 
sanction to initiate physical coercion. Thus, all who value liberty must be 
wary of government power to override natural law and individual rights.
