I stopped reading at 'lawless'. This absurd idea that laws can only come from codified Government dictums is laughable. Only someone hardcore in their delusions would possibly think that laws can only be handed down by Governments. You obey implicit laws on a daily basis. You're probably polite in public, and you hold doors for people behind you. These are all laws in the Hayekian sense, and there's no reason why these same types of laws can't govern our economy. I realize it's futile arguing with someone who basically admitted they are trolling, but it needs to be said.

There's actually a very good reason.  You can't enforce and prosecute offenders of implict, unstated laws, because you have nothing solid to point to and make an objective judgment.
