Dear Dan S de Merengue,

We seem to be talking about two different things.

You are discussing the quality of specific laws, how to tell whether they are good or bad and what can be done about the bad ones.

Fair enough, but what I said is that all laws (good or bad) made by States as they presently stand, are invalid, have no moral basis, thus nobody is morally obliged to follow them. You (and me too) may still like them (or at least some of them), you may still find them beneficial and convenient, you may still want to follow them anyway, but nothing obliges you to do so.

This apparently distinguishes my views from the views of this "‘freedom’ movement" which accepts in principle the validity and authority of States, only wishing to correct this or that set of laws which seem to be unjust or inconvenient.
