When Misguided Public Opinion Honors What Is

It Is Not True That The Legislator Has Absolute Power Over Our Persons And Property, Since They Pre-exist, And His Work Is Only To Secure Them From Injury. It Is Not True That The Mission Of The Law Is To Regulate Our Consciences, Our Ideas, Our Will, Our Education, Our Sentiments, Our Works, Our Exchanges, Our Gifts, Our Enjoyments. Its Mission Is To Prevent The Rights Of One From Interfering With Those Of Another, In Any One Of These Things.

And Now That The Legislators And Do-gooders Have So Futilely Inflicted So Many Systems Upon Society, May They Finally End Where They Should Have Begun: May They Reject All Systems, And Try Liberty; For Liberty Is An Acknowledgment Of Faith In God And His Works

Property, The Right To Enjoy The Fruits Of One's Labor, The Right To Work, To Develop, To Exercise One's Faculties, According To One's Own Understanding, Without The State Intervening Otherwise Than By Its Protective Action; This Is What Is Meant By Liberty

The State Is The Great Fictitious Entity By Which Everyone Seeks To Live At The Expense Of Everyone Else.

If Every Person Has The Right To Defend - Even By Force - His Person, His Liberty, And His Property, Then It Follows That A Group Of Men Have The Right To Organize And Support A Common Force To Protect These Rights Constantly. Thus, Since An Individual Cannot Lawfully Use Force Against The Person, Liberty, Or Property Of Another Individual, Then The Common Force - For The Same Reason - Cannot Lawfully Be Used To Destroy The Person, Liberty, Or Property Of Individuals Or Groups.
