Thanks for the heads up on the libertarian/anarcho-capitalist bit. I tend to interchange them on occasion. But god, they are like two sides of the same coin.

That's simple. A vast majority of laws can be condensed into one single law: do not harm a person, his property, or his right to do with himself as he will. That covers murder, theft, fraud, drunk driving, arson...about the only thing it doesn't cover is campaign finance. But nearly, the vastest nearly number, all crimes are harm a person, property, or the freedom of that person. So there you go, just one law.

"i believe the state is a much better inovator"
Talk to people who work in the lower echelons of government (technicians, computer programmers, etc.) and you don't get a rosy view of government abilities, and forget government innovation. In fact, you start to wonder what miracle worker is holding that bloated bitch together. Government is a car with three square wheels. It's engine has pistons of metric and standard diameter; there a thousand redundant spark plug wires, none of which work, all of which go to the wrong places.
Government couldn't innovate itself out of a paper sack.
