As far as I know, if I attack you with a pitchfork and threaten to air you out
if you don't give me your money, there are no laws against you leaving my
presense.  Does that mean that there is no problem with me threatening you with
a pitchfork?  The government points its pitchfork at me and then I am free to
leave...(but ... but, it must be ok, because the government does it and they are
for all sorts of good causes, and libertarians don't care about other people
and... and... they have been doing it for years...).
