RE: You can do anything, as long as you don't get caught

Outstanding post, as always, krnel.

I love the distinction you make between moral wrong, and mere violation of frivolous (even immoral) "laws."

There is the highest law of the land...The U.S. Constitution...and even though "legal precent" presumes to nullify much of it, it is still there, and when color of law violates the supreme law, we SHOULD disobey to whatever extend we need/want to, especially if we can get away with it...i.e. eroding the bogus police/surveillance state constructs is a good, EVEN PATRIOTIC, thing to do.

Sort:  

“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Papers of Thomas Jefferson

Yes, if people do it in number we can change things. When we stand alone we can go to prison alone :/

Considering the entire system is based on divide and conquer it's an easy bet on the outcome. Even public school is a training ground for obedience.

Indeed. It's always dumb to be a martyr unless you KNOW it will actually make a difference, and nowadays it only rarely does, because nobody cares.
