This is what you opened the thread with. You have been relentless on why we should not have laws, why laws are bad, how laws inhibit business or build businesses into monopolies (disregarding the obvious contradiction there).
So I gave a couple of examples of freedoms, paired and in opposition to each other. How do these freedoms get resolved? Who gets to be free? How does that happen? You stand opposed to laws, whereever possible. "It should be voluntary". If that's your stance, reconcile the competing freedoms I described.

I completely missed your post about waste discharge vs clean water freedoms. I'm not sure that topic relates to this thread, directly. Maybe start a new thread for it?

They're a book all right, many books. Books of laws that business rely upon in order to do business at all. Our country is founded on laws. Your distaste for them is aberrant. A new thread is not needed. You've stood up as the decider in chief as to what constitutes conservatism. Tell me what the conservative position is for the situations I described.
