For those who dont know.. all human action is arbitrary. Preference is arbitrary. Hence using arbitrariness as a criticism of a legal system is... dubious.

For those who don't know, Mises came up with a theory of human action, and it was not that action or prefernce are arbitrary.
But then praxeology is another thread.
Your claim regarding the body of work known as public choice economics ("All public choice can tell us is that government doesn't behave like a market, and the way to make a government behave like a market is to make it a market and not a government.") has absolutely no place in reality.
"You seem to be contradicting yourself here. You say I didn't provide any reasoning, but then say I deemed it bogus for a reason."
Your unsupportable conclusion regarding the usefulness of public choice is trash. Yes, my post was contradictory but I can make a correction. Your "reasoning" is poor and shows a misunderstanding of the difference between policy suggestions and an intellectual framework.
