Nobody's claiming the answer is to simply accept bad laws along with the good ones. That's absurd. It should be pretty obvious that the only sensible answer is to get rid of the bad laws. We're just talking about what to do in the interim, since that process is not going to be instantaneous - scoff at whichever laws you personally disagree with, break those laws and accept the preposterous consequences as a form of protest, or follow them even though they're stupid. If you don't see the first option as a recipe for chaos, I don't know what else to say to you.

- mindslight 11y agoWe're both trying to be good people and improve society, which is why we're debating a moral code to live by. Correctly assigning blame is an important part of diagnosing a problem. Otherwise, being free from scrutiny, the responsible party keeps right on creating problems.
