Law is inherently violent

Finally, other people are catching up on libertarian ideas regarding law and government.

This short piece by Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter states clearly that all law is fundamentally based on violence, and that we as a society need to have a serious discussion whether all of the laws that we have on the books are worth killing your neighbor over.

Are you willing to kill your neighbor so that everyone in the country can have free health care?  Because if not, then free health care should not exist.

Something to think about.
