Well I'm a libertarian and I've never anybody espouse what you're saying. I have
heard people say things that some would construe this way obviously, but it's
kind of like those who complain about an interpretation of the constitution
because it's based on the words in it. Accuracy plays a part.

I believe it pretty straightforward to resolve the clunker issue, by using
jurisdiction and precedent.

Well I don't know where you got all this stuff from or the relevance, but without more 
consistence than what's shown here no issues will be resolved.

So maybe it's time to look into property rights, and the jurisdiction that would 
enable govt to do that.(I don't believe they have jurisdiction.)
