I’ll have to disagree with you on this, pitt. This reminds me of people who think that they can own their home and land. That is FALSE; you LEASE these things from their real owners, the government.

True story…

If she ever acquired anything worth $10,000, then refused to part with it, what would happen? EVERYTHING the government does is done as gunpoint.

What do you mean when you say, “got her prospective husband…” anyway? How did she get him to help her out?

If he bailed her out only because he assumed she would become his wife, then the government should not(I say should not because I’m not sure how the law works in this case…and I wouldn’t want to say could not because the government CAN take whatever it wants from anyone it wants-I would think someone who is as anti-prohibition as you would realize that just because government can do something, that doesn’t make it right) be able to make her pay anything.

Yes, I watched the video. Why do you ask?[/quote]

It is true it could possibly end in gun play , But In my opinion it could be for her own good .Most situations that get out of hand get so because people have no recourse .

I would not say the courts would side with every prospective husband in this situation , but if it even look like the prospective bride courted the prospective husband to defraud him it would almost be certain

So we agree that everything the government does is done at gunpoint.

Like I think I said, I have no idea how a court would rule in this case. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s wrong for the government to be able to force something on someone due to someone else’s state of mind.

I’m pretty sure I already mentioned that it’s strange for an opponent of prohibition to be such a proponent of government power.
