I can't even comprehend no law. You say legal doesn't matter to you. That morality is what matters. Don't you see that's EXACTLY what Socialists say? They have their 'vision' of what 'their' moral World looks like and our Constitution is a barrier to forming their utopian caring government. You do the exact same thing if our current law means nothing to you. You donxt mean 'any' law, you mean 'your' law. But not all Americans believe in the same morality so how is yours any more vslid than any one else's?

Natural law can be broken down very simply. Either you took something that didn't belong to you ( yes rape and murder fall here) or you didn't. If you did it can either be made right or it can't and you should die(rapeos and murderers should die). Now you ask who is going to enforce such rules. Well this depends. If you choose to live in a community and they decide to voluntarily fund a police force and private courts. Now if you choose to live out on a homestead away from civilization it's up to you the individual to protect yourself.

Then ask yourself this question. Do bad people follow the law? Criminals don't fear the jury or jail so if they don't fear their victims is the law really keeping it in control or only providing the illusion of control

Yes but not everyone has the same interpretation of natural law. A muslim believes natural law to be very different than America's version of natural law. That's 'why' we enshrined 'our' interpretation in our Constitution. Without that Constitution, (or at least a majority population who 'believes' enough in that Constitution to actually 'protect' it), who says 'your' version of natural law is the one the population would see as valid. You're assuming that your interpretation is correct. Others believe theirs to be correct. Ergo THE NEED for a central base (government) to define this. It's exactly what our system is supposed to be. THE least amount of government humanly possible to provide that base that humankind CANNOT live without. You may call your nonaggression agreement as not a government but it actually is. The only difference between your proposed government and our Republic is that our Republic is proven to work regardless of what someone feels natural law is. Our version is LAW!

It's law to people who respect laws. I get that argument a lot what I'm proposing is a government. It's whatever you and your community want. If government really did stay out of our lives them there wouldn't be a problem but people have rolled over giving up freedoms for a false sense of security since our country was founded

How can you say that if government stayed out of our lives there wouldn't be any problems? Of course there'd be huge problems. Without a central authority you become multiple communities fighting multiple other communities who don't respect your version of morality. The only reason Americans have..uh used to have a pretty common morality is because it was our religion & then became law, through that central government. Had we never formed this Republic, we never would have this core belief in our version of natural law.

Lol seriously? You mean the barbaric 'tribal' Afghanistan-like Indians who murdered, pilagged & stole lands from eachother? Oh yeah, I forgot, all others before us were so much more pure than our Imperialist barbaric Nation...lol

I'd prefer such tribal warfare, which was largely treated more like a sport than total war anyway, over modern nation states drone-bombing civilians and imposing police state rule. And there is no guarantee that it would even be like that. We have football now, and open trade encourages peace. You might want to look up Xeer law, too.

Well you can't go back to tribal warfare due to technological advances. Your envisioned tribal warfare in reality is tyranny by the highest bidder (most likely foreign) that swoops in as our Republic crumbles. Just like the Socialist who 'intends' one thing yet the opposite 'always' happens. With more negative unintended consequences to have to fix on top of the worsened original problem....😉
