Nick:
Intellectually debate Arlo.  Come on this forum needs some ideas.  It needs some 
intellectual flare.  Debunk my position - debunk the NAP.

Nick:
It is human nature to reason.  As social animals most people pursue to minimize 
conflict in their actions, unless they criminal.  The court system does not need 
coercion to operate.  People gladly want justice for the most part.

Nick:
Easy, people want these things now.  You don't need to coerce people to have this 
happen.  You don't need to go to their house by the point of the gun and force 
them to get up and work.  People do it now mainly by a free desire to do so.  And 
who said you would have to pay every minute - that's a non-sequitur.
