Yes -- for example, we impose our values about armed robbery
on armed robbers.

Yes, but they are for the most part conventions, and are
often so called. There are also "laws" of physics, and 
"laws" of film-making, and Moore's "Law", etc., but none 
of these senses are relevant to the issue of anarchism
vs. minarchism.

Now, can you identify a difference under anarchism between
a "law" and a contract?
