True Liberty and Justice "DO" require resistance to man's law (legal positivism). -- Mike, Norwalk 1
Can't remember what the farmers rebellion was about? -- cal, Lewisville, Tx
Looks like the First monument needed some clarification ... @Mike, you're never going to let the word 'law' slide by without making it clear what real 'law' is, are you. ;-) If only the proper wording had been carved in stone: True Liberty and Justice may require resistance to legislation. ;-) or arbitrary rules, dictates of the State, compelled compliance, legal positivism, etc. -- E Archer, NYC 2
