Also from my page:

Anarchy
Without law we have anarchy, we have the devil stalking the earth, picking us off one by one, the weak and strong alike. We are all vulnerable at times. It is not only justice; in the end it is survival itself.

Without law, who will protect the mother and child who are tomorrow’s strength? Who will protect the geniuses of the mind, the inventor, the artist who enriches the world but has not the power of money or physical ability to defend himself? Who will protect the wise who are old, and might fall victim to the powerful and foolish? Indeed who will protect the strong from themselves?
- Excerpt from “Farriers’ Lane” by Anne Perry

I enjoyed everything you have on your page. I guess the problem is that once we have laws, who enforces them and how. I liked it when citizens could exert "pressure" on those around them who insisted on misbehaving without being sued to death for "violating the bad guys civil rights". Used to be a time where the People were very good at policing themselves for much and that the cops weren't as prevalent in our lives as they are now. Too many laws = too many People being "guilty of criminal behavior" and too many LEOs to enforce the laws. Couple that with a reduction in an insistence on morality and decent behavior in society and Anarchy does begin to take over.

God Bless
