>Many people feel that small "technicalities" don't constitute real, ethical laws. This is wrong and an error in thinking. Every rule and every law is a restriction by technicality. Technically, you can go 65 mph, but not 66 mph. That's the line that delineates legality. It doesn't matter if you agree with it, it doesn't matter if you see other people do it, that's what it is.
I don't agree. We're not robots, we're people. There is room for flexibility. To quote Captain Picard from Startrek TNG...
"Jean-Luc Picard: I don't know how to communicate this, or even if it is possible, but the question of justice has concerned me greatly of late and I say to any creature who may be listening, there can be no justice so long as laws are absolute. Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions."
