 The bottom line.... Laws are put into place by people that have been 
elected
 by the majority of the community to represent them. It doesn't matter if we
 are talking about the county, state or federal government. Anyone that 
chooses
 to violate a law (good, bad or indifferent) is engaging in an unlawful act
 against the _rest_ of the community.
 That's why there are laws that say everyone that want's to drive in MY
 community MUST have a driver's license and a licensed automobile. Because it
 is MY community. If you don't want to have a license, the solution is VERY
 simple. Don't drive in MY community. Ancient societies used to exile people
 for not obeying the "laws" of the "community". Nowadays, we just pay taxes
 to hire people (from our community) to enforce the laws our elected
 representatives make.
 If you own a million acres in the middle of nowhere, there is no law that 
says
 you MUST have a license to drive on your own property. And if you want to 
 avoid paying the gas tax? Raise pigs and run the vehicle on methane gas.

 Again, that is a criminal act against the "community", NOT the government.

 There is NO law against "travel". One can walk, ride a mule, etc. The "law"
 (established by the "community") is regulating the _mode_ (i.e.; automobile)
 of travel.
 SB> As for those camps, rumor has it they are already in place.
 
 What camps? Where? In the west? West of where?
