Yes -- for example, we impose our values about armed robbery on armed robbers. > Is there such a thing as international law? Yes, but they are for the most part conventions, and are often so called. There are also "laws" of physics, and "laws" of film-making, and Moore's "Law", etc., but none of these senses are relevant to the issue of anarchism vs. minarchism. Now, can you identify a difference under anarchism between a "law" and a contract? -- brian@holtz.org http://humanknowledge.net
