		<description><![CDATA[&quot;In my (libertarian) view in sharp contrast, let a hero kill the innocent person to keep the Martians off our backs, but then this savior must himself
be put to death, after he is thanked.&quot; - Block

Yep. This is a good quote from Rothbard about the mistake I believe Borer makes and Block refers too?

&quot;The error here on the part of the &quot;contextualist&quot; libertarians is to confuse the question of the moral course of action for the person in such a tragic situation with the totally separate question of whether or not his seizing of lifeboat or plank space by force constitutes an invasion of someone else&#039;s property right. For we are not, in constructing a theory of liberty and property, i.e., a &quot;political&quot; ethic, concerned with all personal moral principles. We are not herewith concerned whether it is moral or immoral for someone to lie, to be a good person, to develop his faculties, or be kind or mean to his neighbors. We are concerned, in this sort of discussion, solely with such &quot;political ethical&quot; questions as the proper role of violence, the sphere of rights, or the definitions of criminality and aggression. Whether or not it is moral or immoral for &quot;Smith&quot; - the fellow excluded by the owner from the plank or the lifeboat - to force someone else out of the lifeboat, or whether he should die heroically instead, is not our concern, and not the proper concern of a theory of political ethics.[5] - Lifeboat Scenario, TEOL - Rothbard]]></description>
