This book changed my lifeThe Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

@GoatDriving without a licence and paying no tax is not liberty - it's taking a liberty.
There is no right to drive. That's why licences do not infringe liberty.
Presumably, these people still make use of street lighting, would benefit from public health initiatives and herd vaccinations, would benefit from the attentions of the emergency services should the need arrive, and so on. Essentially, they're scum...
"[I]n law words do not mean what we assume they do and it is through our lack of understanding they get our consent."
Your misunderstanding is not the law's fault. And while consent is a problem for liberal political theorists, it's not the kind of problem you think it is. (It's not a problem for non-liberals, btw - or not such a problem. I suggest you have a look at some Aristotle, MacIntyre, Sandel, Rawls...)
