Of coarse we have the long tested common crimes of: theft, swindle, physical harm, and destruction of property, threats and murder. That is what we have the courts for.
Forcing anyone against their will to do what you say, will bring massive resentment and hate, every time.

My drama queenery ebbs and flows. The State issues me brainwashing pills to be like you folks. Sometimes I take them. Sometimes I don't.



The only label on that chart I at least somewhat fit is Caveat Emptor (though I haven't had a hot dog since I was a kid).

By calling them 'pragmatic anarchists' I meant only that they were attempting to form a better form of goverrment, the focus being on the pragmatic part. I don't think they were Gods, I don't think they saw themselves as such.
"I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions, I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know, also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times."

"We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."

--Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.

If you want to post a comment, post it already...

Hard to guess why you are repeating this question I thought first to simply ignore for a couple of reasons.

Are you asking why Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1891?
