I was almost stumped at first, stuck with an answer of "both are wrong".

But then another read, combined with your latest post, gave me some better questions to answer.

Quote:
Would you rather live in a world where most people did things that are illegal or a world where most people did things that they consider to be immoral?

The latter, since I have more faith in the average law than I do in the average person's sense of morality. The key to answering there being that it was the individual morality that was guiding behaviors.

Quote:
Should the law give a little when people break it for the "right" reasons vs. breaking it for the "wrong" reasons.

Absolutely not. Such a process renders those "laws" little more than "suggestions".

Between those two specific items, hopefully you can divine whatever answer I'd have to the original broad question & tally me accordingly.
