In 1491 the inka ruled the greatest empire on earth. bigger than ming dynasty china, bigger than ivan the great’s expanding russia, bigger than songhay in the sahel or powerful great zimbabwe in the west africa tablelands, bigger than the cresting ottoman empire, bigger than the triple alliance (as the aztec empire is more precisely known), bigger by far than any european state, the inka dominion extended over a staggering thirty-two degrees of latitude—as if a single power held sway from st. petersburg to cairo.

Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

Great part of that order which reigns among mankind is not the effect of government. it has its origin in the principles of society and the natural constitution of man. it existed prior to government, and would exist if the formality of government was abolished. the mutual dependence and reciprocal interest which man has upon man, and all the parts of civilised community upon each other, create that great chain of connection which holds it together.
