<p><<Probably all of us would agree that</p>
<p>(A) Initiation of force is bad. <br>
(B) Starving children is bad.</p>
<p>The question is which is worse. A libertarian would say initiation of force is unacceptable; figure out some other way to feed starving children. A liberal would say that starving children is unacceptable and so be it if force is necessary to avoid it.>></p>
<p>Well put. It is not easy when primary values are in conflict. In these cases I tend to look for midway solutions, like feeding children as much as possible while reducing initiation of force to the strictly necessary minimum. Needless to say, both fundamentalist libertarians and fundamentalist liberals dislike midway solutions.</p>
