Does it make a rule any less binding or coercive because it was inflicted on you by a majority of your neighbors, rather than a dictator? I think not. But that's me. Unless you're intent on living either as a hermit, or know of a stable complete anarchy somewhere, you have to live by someone else's rules, mutually agreed or otherwise; or of course go for Nature's laws, and fight to assert your own rules over others. That's life. If you find rules too binding, go somewhere where you don't: but if a majority of people everywhere want more rules than you do, prepare for disappointment and perpetual 'coercion'... But I say if you view all laws as coercion, you make the term meaningless.
