No, you have an inalienable natural right to freedom that even you yourself cannot sell away.

Being a libertarian does not always mean being an anarchist. To my knowledge David Boaz and Cato in general has never claimed to be anarchists. So no you should not be able to sell your children into slavery and no child sex and child slavery would not be permitted. Protecting people's natural rights is a legitimate function of a coercive entity (government).

Well yeah you can technically do it. I am saying it is illegitimate.

Hey Matt. I've been tossing around getting into endurance mountain biking for a while. I have always wanted to do it but haven't really been able to explain to myself why. I sometimes end up convincing myself that all of the pain and suffering is for nothing. Even though I have completed a triathlon and some other events and felt great in the end. When the training gets long and arduous how do you keep yourself motivated? How do you keep the negative thoughts out of your head telling you to quit?

No, you do a service for which you get compensation in return. You can stop anytime you want to. Maybe there is an agreement in place that you owe some money back or something but he cannot force you to keep going. That is extremely different from slavery.
