This thread was doing just nicely until you started peeing in the Cheerios.
I thought I had already stipulated that I was the worst person in human history.
Surely my unspeakably evil decision to comment on the quality of some of the offerings on the thread falls under that general heading.
Here's a reading suggestion of mine: the first book of Six Books Upon The Commonwealth by Jean Bodin.
I'll also add Considerations On France by de Maistre.
I suggest these because the first is the background of all modern arguments about sovereignty and the second because it is, I believe, the more intelligent and subtly argued critique of elected legislatures that Spooner cribbed, cropped and simplified for some of his work.
