This is a really important post, especially for down the road once we're rebuilding the new Republic.

When my son hit the age of around 15 or 16, I talked to him about the enormous number of laws on the books. I explained to him that all laws are enforced through force. Every law, even the simplest misdemeanor is eventually enforced in that manner. And every time a law is added, it's another opportunity for the State to project its power against you.

Now, that is not to say we don't need laws. I'm not some idiot anarchist. But the number of laws in this country is obscene.

Now, I fully understand that this is a lesson that all of the regulars here are more than familiar with. But it will be very important for us to teach others of concepts like this one in the coming years.

Excellent post, OP.
