If you would like to read a couple of essays on the subject that are far more eloquent than anything I could write I'll post a couple of links. Keep in mind these were written 100+ years ago so while the language might be different, the principles within them are timeless and as fresh today as the day they were written. I'll give you links to pdf files so you can print these and read them at your leisure.

Natural Law by Lysander Spooner

The Law by Frederic Bastiat
I've read these, at your request, and I don't think that they'll find them any more satisfying than I did.
