More From Baron De Montesquieu

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.
Book Ignorance Reality
State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.

Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. in this sense all beings have their laws: the deity his laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.
God Nature Science
They who assert that a blind fatality produced the various effects we behold in this world talk very absurdly; for can anything be more unreasonable than to pretend that a blind fatality could be productive of intelligent beings.
Intelligent World Blind
One of the reasons people might be fallible, why we might fail to do what we try to do isignorance, that we have a limited understanding of the laws of the world - the physical laws that govern the world and of all the particulars of the world upon which those laws work. and then there's ineptitude, meaning that the knowledge is available, but individuals fail to apply it correctly. the third source is "necessary fallibility." that is, we're never going to be omniscient, there is some knowledge that we will simply never achieve, and there are limits to what we will be able to do.
People Understanding Trying
When did atheists become so evangelical? i mean, if you don't believe something to be true, wouldn't you just ignore it? that's certainly what i do. whether it's leprechauns or a congressional debt reduction plan - if i'm convinced it's fiction, i simply put it out of my mind. not the atheists. they are obsessed with faith and religious practice. their identities and their works are one big reaction to that which they hate. no longer content to simply dismiss god and those who follow in him, the new atheists have created a cult of unbelief.
