Please tell me which laws of man you obey, and which laws of God you obey. If the laws are in conflict with your belief system, do you choose to ignore these laws? If so, please define the difference between what you propose and anarchy.

I'm curious, though: in the story to which I linked, the guy didn't have his truck lights on at 12:30 a.m. This was in the city, not the country, and was in an area that was well-lit. Did he have the right to drive with his lights off, although there are laws that mandate that one drives with headlights on during certain hours, although there was ambient street lighting? Do others? What if he was not in a well-lit area? Did he have the right to have placed a renewal tag (obtained from who knows where) on his license plates although he didnt' renew his license plates? Do others? Does he have the right to refuse to register his car? Do others? Did he have the right to drive with no license? Do others? Did the sheriff's deputy have the right to pull him over for these traffic infractions? If so, why? If not, why not?

laws are ignored every day by every body... be they speeding, parking, etc... you immediately jump to the conclusion of anarchy, but embrace totalitarian dictatorship at the drop of a hat.

one needs to draw the line for the state as it imposes its will on the people, and licensing is the state imposing its will.

apparently the gent who didn't have his lights on at 12:30 am was able to do so in a well lit area, was visible to others along the road, because he was noticed by the officer, and was pulled over because the officer could make the case for revenue...

it is not a matter of right to drive with lights on or off... you try to minimize rights by straw arguments... were his lights necessary to visibility? you say they weren't, but the law says differently, so you condone locking him up for arguing... as for the renewal tag, how many times must a vehicle be "registered" with the state...

yes, laws are on the books, but that doesn't make them right.

following laws is a choice every man makes, be they man or god's, governments will impose every law they can on man to control behaviour, it is mans duty to prohibit that from getting out of control.
