Thank you, libertysnippet. That was thought provoking. I have had the same discussion with my peers in relation to my country's current issues in the political landscape. What we have over here is a battle between the legal (our judiciary) and the alleged morality of our non-performing but popular national leader of the executive branch of government. Using your framwork, you have just enlightened me to a new perspective. I will be subscribing to you as soon as I post this comment.
It's not possible to have aggression against one's liberty without there being aggression against one's person or property. In order to act against one's liberty, the actor must use force or the threat of force in order to commit that act. That force or threat of force must be against the person, not the concept of liberty. If there is no force or threat of force then the subject is merely making a choice.
Now that you mention it, I'm not sure there's any difference between aggression to one's person and aggression to one's liberty. Both are harmful and worthy of resistance/ defense.
This should have more views. 200? Too many people watching moronic reality shows. I weep for humanity.

Damn that voice is sexy. And smart, too!
I'm not sure that I would distinguish between aggression to one's person and aggression to one's liberty, though.
I'm going to need to ponder on that.
