Where does crime come from? Poverty? Education? Mental illness? What about law? If something's a crime, that's only because there's a law governing it. When you ignore the law, you commit a crime.

But what if the founders of those laws were acting criminally when they made the laws? Our Founding Fathers didn't have the King's permission or any sort of authority to ignore the King and his laws when the founded the USA. Thus the very inception of a new country and government was itself a criminal act. As was everything that came from that founding as with each and every law.

A law that became a law because of a criminal act is what? Lawful or unlawful? If unlawful, why do we put so much faith and reverance into laws and following them if their origin was unlawful? Just because? Because people with guns will come and kidnap you and put you somewhere for a while or outright kill you?

Laws are only lawful because if you disagree you'll go to prison or be shot. So how just and noble are these laws and the rulers who imposed them on everyone else?
