Why Don't You Reform Yourselves? That Task

Which Countries Contain The Most Peaceful, The Most Moral, And The Happiest People? Those People Are Found In The Countries Where The Law Least Interferes With Private Affairs; Where The Government Is Least Felt; Where The Individual Has The Greatest Scope, And Free Opinion The Greatest Influence; Where The Administrative Powers Are Fewest And Simplest; Where Taxes Are Lightest And Most Nearly Equal

The Law Is The Collective Organization Of The Individual's Right To Lawful Defense Of His Life, Liberty And Property. When It Is Used For Anything Else, No Matter How Noble The Cause, It Becomes Perverted And Justice Is Weakened. Thus, The Law Has Become Perverted By Stupid Greed And False Philanthropy.

The People Who, During The Election, Were So Wise, So Moral, So Perfect, Now Have No Tendencies Whatever; Or If They Have Any, They Are Tendencies That Lead Downward To Degradation. . . . If People Are As Incapable, As Immoral, And As Ignorant As The Politicians Indicate, Then Why Is The Right Of These Same People To Vote Defended With Such Passionate Insistence?

Sometimes The Law Defends Plunder And Participates In It. Sometimes The Law Places The Whole Apparatus Of Judges, Police, Prisons And Gendarmes At The Service Of The Plunderers, And Treats The Victim - When He Defends Himself - As A Criminal.

The Worst Thing That Can Happen To A Good Cause Is Not To Be Skillfully Attacked, But To Be Ineptly Defended.
