Nick:
I never said unbiased opinions don't exist.  Liberty is dynamic.  It 
is not my opinion, though I have an opinion on what liberty is.  Liberty 
is everywhere.  That's why it's a universal natural right.  It's not confined 
to my opinion.  It's an opinion that's age old and is constantly applied.  
I mean liberty means the absence of initiating physical coercion.  I see that 
most of my life in direct experience.

Ron:

Nick:
It doesn't have to be obvious.  Criminals exist.  just saying criminals cause they 
are the only violators of liberty according to the natural law of human nature.

Ron:
> Nature is everchanging which means that natural 
> law is everchanging

Nick:
Show me how how liberty is a crime?  Show me how initiating physical coercion 
is justice.  Give me an example.

Ron:
> the expereincer is part of experience, everchanging.
> If ideas of"Justice" and "Liberty" are everchanging they are 
> universally meaningless.

Nick:
They would be.  But they aren't everchanging.  People's perception 
of what these concepts mean change, but the concepts themselves 
are defined.  A flower is still a flower.

Ron:
> They are culturally derived ideals based on the idea of the 
> existence of an objective truth in nature.

Nick:
Nope.  They are moral values.
