If it works, we wouldn't need police or at least so much police.

Are laws not really laws if there's no policeman present in every instance? A rule is not dependent upon enforcement in order to be a rule. It's a rule to live by, a maxim, a guideline. The Ten Commandments are a good guide to life whether you believe their origin was God, Moses, or someone else.
Besides that, you DO suffer the consequences of NOT following these rules and laws if they are, indeed, valid ones. It isn't neccessary to believe in nor assent to the law of gravity in order to be held to the consequences of disregarding it. WVO? Am I right on this? I THINK I'm right.
