But that is the beauty, the good guys have more guns than the bad guys. I am not saying a criminal is right, i am not saying the law is right, i am saying it is enforceable. A criminal can enforce his wants and needs on you, but police can enforce societies wants and needs on them. And what decides that? Consent? No , which side has more guns and more hands to use them with. It would be better if force was not needed, but that is a silly unrealistic view. Utopia is for Utopians, and Utopians we are not.
You are only assuming "the good guys" "have more" guns then the "bad guys".
Dude the discussion is not about "enforcement", it is about what is lawful and legal.
But I do like you admitting that "THE LAW" has no real authority, it is one mans word over anothers.
And stop with the Utopia talk, it has no relevance in this discussion.
As much as you may want to go on about how wrong and illegal that is, it is the way it is. Consent has nothing at all to do with law, law isn't some divine force out to protect you, it is simply the force of the land codified.
Too say consent has nothing to do with the law is blasphemy and down right wrong.
No one said the law is Divine. It is a mental construct. And the mentally constructed law of the land has everything to do with consent.
Only laws that are enforced have any power, and even if the fotl stuff is perfectly valid, ( which it is not, but trying to use legal evidence to support the argument hasn't been working. So i am taking the pragmatic route. ) no one is willing to enforce it, thereby making it useless.
What has to be enforced with being free? that's a contradiction.
So what we have is a small minority saying " we want this law" and the rest of us saying " no that is a silly idea" and the rest of us have the power of enforcement backing us up. that is the beauty of democracy. The rest of us don't want to live in freemanland, and you don't have the power of enforcement to make us. In short, the freemen lose. And seeing as the rest of us are perfectly happy paying our dues to society in order to receive its benefits, that is a beautiful thing.
To bad America IS NOT A DEMOCRACY, it is a REPUBLIC. Dont blend the voting process and the political status of the country together.
Again, I have consistently stated that, one person becoming a freeman does nothing to the United States.You FOTL deniers are creating an illusionary "Freeman Utopia", "Freemanland".
I have never mentioned forcing any into a freeman status and have actually spoke against it.
In short you cant force anyone to do anything beyond there will (As just stated).
If so you most start admitting that America is some sort of Evil Fascist/Socialistic/Communistic Dictatorship that is enslaving people to it will. Although you probably wouldnt deny this so you enjoy paying your dues.
Prison is beautiful when you cant see your bars.
