Lysander Spooner pointed out in his essay ``Trial By Jury'' and
several other works that most of the so-called ``laws'' passed by
legislatures have no basis other than the biggest gang got together
to legalize their plunder and power.

"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." -- Lysander Spooner, Letter to Grover Cleveland 1886
