Natural Consequences
Nice quotes, but no answers. I’ll bite.
First off, calling legislation “law” is the big lie at the center of the abject evil that is the state.
A law is a fact of nature, part of how the universe works. You can overcome it, as in using an airplane to overcome gravity, but you can’t change it.
Legislatures make statutes, not laws. Statutes are entirely artificial things. They either fail to change an actual law, as in legislating the value of Pi to be three, or they redistribute wealth, usually into the state’s coffers, as in the plethora of taxes and fees collected on everything under the sun, or they make a bad attempt at providing a false incentive for people to treat each other, or themselves, better, as in all the criminal statutes.
The job of the police is to make it seem, to those who don’t pay attention, that statute is the same as natural law. That’s why as statutes proliferate, the police become more and more brutal. Well, that and power madness.
More and more, I believe that natural law is all we need. Natural consequences are swift and sure. Natural consequences are absolutely fair, with no possibility of corruption. Natural consequences are natural.
Allow it to be so.
