    <body><![CDATA[The first couple of chapters make this book worth reading and purchasing.  I'm amazed it is not talked about more in &quot;conservative&quot; circles.  It presents a society that had far less differentiation between police power and the rest of society.  In English and Colonial society, police power was a duty of everyone, so that, when a civil magistrate failed to do what was lawful, and the &quot;mob&quot; did it anyway, the line between &quot;riot&quot; and &quot;lawful government&quot; was not so easy to detect.  John Locke and Algernon Sydney and other &quot;theorists&quot; were typically describing and explaining real life as they knew it.  Resistance was customary.  The &quot;bad guy&quot; is Blackstone who spread the idea that only Parliament was the way a society could govern &quot;itself.&quot;  Parliamentary democracy is revealed as a usurpation of self-government.]]></body>
