A major symptom of our sick social system, few good men can stomach what is required of a police officer in a corrupt coercive enforcement paradigm today. This is a strong indicator that all the talk about human rights and freedom is just that..talk. No man has greater "special" rights than another even if he has a badge and belongs to a well organized gang. Such a system will unfortunately tend to attract the weak power hungry psychopaths.

Whenever I mention the "natural law" during conversations with my husband, he reminds me, "Honey, when you say "the natural law" (as he makes air quotes), most people have NO idea what you're talking about."

He's right. And it explains so much.

Also, civil rights, though related, differ from natural rights.

This article does a much needed job of pointing out the danger of assigning arbitrary respect to "law enforcement." I'm so old I remember when they used to be known as "peace officers." How's that for a laugh?
