Like most others, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 is yet another statute to get Congress persons re-elected. The government seldom prosecutes people for violating its laws. No new laws are needed. Misleading links, spoofing and most spam is fraud. If governments prosecuted fraud, there would be no problem.

We libertarians believe that prosecuting fraud, the initiation of force and the failure to compensate for property damage are the only valid functions of government.

We own ourselves. To sustain oneself and ones posterity, each individual must have the freedom to defend their property and use it as they please as long as their property does not damage the property of others or its value, or infringe on the equal right of others to use their property as they please without just compensation.

Imagine how simple the legal system would be if all statutes, including rape (property trespass), murder (property damage) and fraud (property misrepresentation) were based on property rights. Imagine how much better the environment would be if pollution were treated as a trespass, and all public lands, fisheries, mating grounds, hatcheries and herds, flocks and pods of migrating animals were auctioned to private owners for protection and cultivation for consumption and tourism. Imagine how much better transportation would be if all roads, railroads, airports and the FAA were privately owned. Imagine how much safer you would be if police focused on property rights. Imagine how much wealthier you would be if government were limited to protecting property and the liberty to use it. Imagine the businesses, services, charities, research and scholarships you could fund, and the environments and species you could protect with the consequent leisure time and discretionary wealth.
