Which would you prefer?

Freedom = Absensce of coercion.


And how do you define "coercion"?

Right of the bat, coercion = use of force.

What constitutes the "use of force"? Have a look at the chapter
entitled "Problems" in David Friedman's, The Machinery of Freedom for a
clear explanation of why all this "non-initiation of force" stuff is a
bunch of nonsense.

We've been over this before.


.... but in any case, since you believe that "use of force" is a vacuous
concept, please share with us how YOU define freedom.
