What is Law

Postby actionmanandy » Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:22 pm

Don't know if anyone has read this or posted it before but its a good read, The Law by Frederic Bastiat.

Here are a few Quotes from it.
It is not true that the legislator has absolute power over our persons and property. The existence of persons and property preceded the existence of the legislator, and his function is only to guarantee their safety.

It is not true that the function of law is to regulate our consciences, our ideas, our wills, our education, our opinions, our work, our trade, our talents, or our pleasures. The function of law is to protect the free exercise of these rights, and to prevent any person from interfering with the free exercise of these same rights by any other person.

Each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property

If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right — its reason for existing, its lawfulness — is based on individual right. And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force — for the same reason — cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups.

sounds like common law .

yet the right to defend the person can spawn a tribe or society of hive minds that perceive the freeman as a threat to their existance

the evil mind has the right to defend itself, regardless and so we weep over the cruel trick

Very true Zarki where did that come from. :) it is Common Law It is real Law

If you suggest a doubt as to the morality of these institutions, it is boldly said that "You are a dangerous innovator, a utopian, a theorist, a subversive; you would shatter the foundation upon which society rests." If you lecture upon morality or upon political science, there will be found official organizations petitioning the government in this vein of thought.
