I want to stop right there. Let's go back to those quotation marks I was talking about, and let's examine just how very big the problem we're dealing with here is. Whether we're talking "laws" or "policy," all we're talking about are the opinions of politicians backed up by a bunch of bureaucrats' guns. Nothing more. We're not talking about gravity, solar radiation or the heat death of the universe. We're talking about just a bunch of arrogant politicians and their deranged ideas. As for "state," what is one? Can I touch it, see it, throw a rock at it? In short, it's nothing but a fictitious concept. An ephemeral nonentity. You might as well be talking about the tooth fairy or the Great Pumpkin.
