If two individuals enter into a contract to commit trespass, theft, robbery or murder upon a third, the contract is unlawful and void, simply because it is a contract to violate natural justice, or men's natural rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a natural impossibility for any man to make a binding contract, by which he shall surrender to others a single one of what are commonly called his 'natural, inherent, inalienable rights.'
One crime has to be concealed by another.
In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?
The law is immoral.
There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.
Law is any application for the official use of coercion that succeeds.
If taxation without consent is robbery, the United States government has never had, has not now, and is never likely to have, a single honest dollar in its treasury. If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their robberies are legalized.
Property is organized robbery.
Rape, mutilation, abuse, and theft are the natural outcome of a world in which force rules, in which human beings are objects.
When a law is in its nature a contract, when absolute rights have vested under that contract, a repeal of the law cannot divest those rights. The people can act only by their agents and, within the powers conferred upon them, their acts must be considered as the acts of the people.
