>>Law is simply the decision to accept limits on oneself in order to demand limits on others.

It is the alternative to dueling. Without law, everyone is free to rob, kill, bomb, anybody they want for any reason they can justify to themselves.<<

I think they should bring back dueling. I see nothing wrong with it.

As for "anarchy," I think it would be workable as long as _everyone_ understood their are consequences to our actions.

A friend of mine has an interesting saying, "Anarchy is a word used by tyrants."

In the end though I'm against this war, but probably not for the same reasons as you.

By the way, what happens when the tentacles of government become so expansive that, no matter what a citizen does, they're breaking some or another law?

FWIW
