Isn't there a limit to what you can sign away through contract? I mean is the argument that even if she signed a contract that limited this right, it isn't legal to do that anyways?

Hobbes: yes, though most libertarians are generally for reducing those restrictions. I can't imagine what would prevent you from signing away your right to have small decorations outside your door, though.

OK, just curious. I don't know much about this so I couldn't figure out if the argument was the contract didn't cover it, or that the contract couldn't cover it.

That's how I was suckered in.
No kidding!
That's probably why my girlfriend takes time out of her day to drive her high-school kids to doctor's appointments 'cause their parents are busy working. Or when she puts up her own money so that recent immigrant students can play varsity soccer.
Or that phone tree she's in to relay the status of a student that's currently in a coma after a car accident.
I'm not sure why she does all that, then works on the weekends to make up for her pittance of a salary. It's probably because she just really wants to ruin lives!

Or you could just be passing unwarranted judgment on a large group of individuals.
If the former, please proceed to explain to me the motivations of thousands of people you've never met.

Pff, that's nothing. Lisa can tell you about the inner life of Bronze Age stoneherders; it's remarkably similar to that of present-day Orthodox Jews. She's really quite good at the mind-reading thing.

Fixed that for you.
Well, I could go into a long rant on how that was actually an intentional insult to Lisa's hypothetical ancestors, but actually my fingers just got ahead of my brain. Thank you.

Well, for values of "a lot" extending down to 50%, sure. We're both convinced we're right, but only I actually am.

For two such apparently different people, 50% is a lot.
And, as I'm sure you're aware I was suggesting, thinking you're both right isn't a part of that 'a lot' I was referring to. Everyone has that in common, or nearly everyone, to the point that even pointing it out is silly.
