... I am not willing to be libertarian because of a belief in an
absolute right to dispose of my property as I please, since I
don't in fact hold that belief.
You don't have to. You are free to dispose of your property as you
please, and that right includes the right to waive that right.
The issue is the right of THE REST OF US to dispose of OUR property
as WE please. Just because you are willing to give up that right for
yourself does not mean everyone else should be penalized, anymore than
someone being willing to work as a slave justifies slavery for those
of us who object to working without compensation.
