We see the same principle in the case of prize-fighters. If I but lay one of my fingers upon another man’s person, against his will, no matter how lightly, and no matter how little practical injury is done, the act is a crime. But if two men agree to go out and pound each other’s faces to a jelly, it is no crime, but only a vice.

Common sense is clearly lacking in our society today.  Two men beat each other to a pulp behind the local bar, and both are arrested and charged with battery, or worse.  But what's the difference between two men beating each other senseless in a boxing ring, or behind the bar; when, in both cases, the men agree to take part in the contest? 

Whatever happened to that old saying, "Boys will be boys!"?   And why don't we have men like Lysander Spooner serving as judges in this country anymore?

My entire nation is now populated with idiots, liberals, and do-gooders.........spineless bastards.
