On those rare occasions where I choose to break the law, I am fully prepared to accept the consequences. That is really my gripe -- people choosing to break the law and then complaining when consequences are levied against them. That is hypocrisy.

I am for the right for people to engage in "civil disobedience" if they feel the issue calls for it (I never do however), but when they are caught, I don't have a lot of sympathy.

I believe there is a song about doing crimes and doing times.

Consider the state of society if everyone thought they could break laws and not be held responsible simply because they felt it was socially justified? The term anarchy comes to mind.
