So should everyone simply disregard any laws they disagree with, provided they can get away with it? Where does it end?

- b800h 3y agoWith laws being changed, unlike in totalitarian regimes.

Though those problems should probably be more severe than then the problems caused by trying and failing to ban a victimless crime, which always creates a black market (and associated violence, which does have victims).
- realce 3y agoIt doesn't "end" whatsoever. Your notion of it ending means total governmental control or total anarchy. Life is in the middle of the two, the resting point is a continuous balance of two extremes. It's not simple to disregard laws, it's risky and makes you vulnerable.
- harimau777 3y agoAt least in America, there's not a lot of alternatives. The system is setup in a way that favors minoritarian rule (particularly, but not exclusively by the rural) and lobbyists. Unfortunately, that means that diregarding laws that they disagree with is often the only way to represent the will of the people.
- sebzim4500 3y agoObviously yes. If you don't agree with a law and there is close to no chance of getting caught then why follow it?
