"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Law by Frederic Bastiat
A classic but always a good read. He had it all figured out in the 1800's. Too bad we cannot learn from the lessons about what a Just law is supposed to be.

This is, in my opinion, the best treatise ever written on the true origin and proper purpose of the law.
