Indeed, since criminal cases have priority, many courts are unable to reach their civil dockets at all. A good order is any system of sustaining human interaction that satisfies participants without violating other people's rights. The danger of disorder lies in the violation of rights of citizens, not in the diminishing of the prestige of government officials. The greater the unnecessary submission, the greater the deadweight loss of any system of order and the loss of new discoveries, personal satisfaction, and other benefits. The more a system of order is based on political commands, the more people's lives are forcibly limited by the wisdom or judgment of the people at the top.
History is replete with civilizations that sank into the mire because of excessive obedience.
People have been schooled to vastly exaggerate government's role in generating order. The vast majority of benefits of contemporary economic and social order are the result of the habits, consideration, courtesy, and responsibility of individuals treating each other with respect and fair play. Left to their own devices, most people will usually find ways to reach mutually beneficial agreements or accommodations with others. It is not a question of natural harmony but rather of people recognizing their own self-interest in following general rules of conduct and respecting other people's rights. There is no known social or political system in which conflict disappears.
