Ah, yes. I understand what you mean. I was approaching it inductively, and was thinking of "legal" as law in context. I apologize for taking so long to respond, I have been not been on youtube nearly 3 weeks.

no, I wouldn't.

That's not bad.

Given that you are so rational, would you care to define logical intersection in terms of union and negation? How about union in terms of intersection and negation?

How about "the war against the hillbillies?"

How about " the war to prevent southern secession"? "the war of Northern aggression? the war against the Tenth Amendment? take your pick, but with a name like Billy Joe, you can't think that I'd be insulted by being called a hillbilly.

What kind of hillbilly still calls the Civil War the "War Between the States?"

The war between the states was not an attempt to establish competitive governments so much as it was an effort to secede and establish a smaller, regional monopoly government. It was a step in the right direction, IMO, as many governments that each rule 1 person only would be ideal.
The key issue is geography. Truly competitive governments would have no geographically exclusive areas of operation.
The idea of objective "law" is the root issue of centralized power. Only by recognizing the individual as the supreme ruler of oneself can an emergent "from the ground up" system develop.
It is like a frog in a pot of hot water: turn up the temperature a degree every few minutes. This fact is one of the reasons such a backlash of constitutionalism is growing these days. A 200 year old checks and balance system has no more natural authority than a dictatorship.

Gravity is an objective law. Supply and demand is an objective law. Marginal utility is an objective law. Property is an objective concept, although not fully understood or properly defined by most people.
I would say that the idea of the social contract is the root of centralized power, but I like the way you think.
