I agree with this, but there is an additional point that I think must be
kept in mind with regards to schemes for privately produced law. Any entity
that has the power to make laws, and to enforce them, has a de facto power
to initiate the use of force against anyone it doesn't like. This power can
be controlled in various ways, but we must start by realizing that it
exists.
