Isn't the rule of law necessary?

The "rule of law" implies that government leaders obey the written law, instead of their own whims at any given moment. Dictators and kings often subject people to any decree they come up with, even when it is not in the law. This is not a good thing.

However, the problem with the rule of law is simple: the law can say absolutely anything. While a dictator deciding tomorrow to confiscate your house would be very bad for you, a bureaucracy that legally passes a law to take your house has exactly the same effect. One may seem brutal, and the other a function of legal organization; but the result for you is the same: you lose your house. It is not formalities, agreements, or preexisting written laws that make something right or wrong. If one group of people forces their will on another, written into law or not, it is wrong.

Why is global warming special?

Global Warming is special because it is an issue that can be used to increase control over every area of people's lives. Since the postulation is that global warming is caused by activities that are central to all economics, control over global warming's causes means controlling the entire global economy.

The truth of the global warming theory is not the major concern. The major concern is that vesting any group of people with the ability to govern human activities will cause human suffering. The more control, the greater the suffering. The global warming theory has the potential to be used to hand total control over human lives to governments. If this were to happen, freedom would end.

Why do you say democracy is bad?

Most people think of democracy as a government where we each get to decide our own fate, instead of being ruled by a dictator. The problem is that democracy is the opposite of freedom. If democracy meant you were free to live your life as you saw fit, it would be a good thing. But in a democracy, people can vote for laws that take away your freedom, your money, and your choices. It is this ability to vote away other people's freedoms that makes democracy so dangerous.

A dictator is bad for you because he forces you to obey his will. A democracy is bad for you for the very same reason.

Don't the police defend freedom?

The oath most law enforcement officers take is to enforce the law, not to defend human life or liberty. This is not an insignificant difference.

It is dangerous to assume that the intention of law is to protect you. Given laws that harm innocent people, history shows that law enforcement has been the single biggest killer of human beings, not criminals.

Whether you think a law is good or bad, police will uphold it. To say that an officer enforces the law is the same as saying that an officer forces the law upon you. That is not freedom, it is tyranny.
