Peter:

>I can justly coerce another to obtain what is rightfully mine.

So, if a kid steals your kid's bike, you can whip out your Uzi and threaten
to blow him into the next world. If the IRS makes you pay your taxes (after
all, it's your money), you can hold innocent bystanders hostage to get it
back. If a small child takes your crucifix because it looks nice and shiny,
you can tell her she'll burn in eternal hellfire unless she gives it back.

You might want to re-work that statement a tad.
