Ignoring the Law

Griff · 03-13-2004, 06:43 AM

The mayors around the country who are marrying gay couples are in most cases ignoring laws which are on the books and being praised for it. Is a willingness to break laws they dislike, the real differance between the left and right? Or as a society are we all growing contemptuous of the layers of law being foisted upon us? Is it okay to break the law because you think its wrong?

I'm not much of a lawbreaker but there are many really absurd laws on the books that the proponents of seem to expect us to follow. From my group of friends, the lefties while supporting much more new legislation, are the same folks who ignore laws already on the books. Don't get me wrong, I'm an anarchist at heart but I'm wondering if the consensus is that rule of law is over so I can start building a new way of life free from your mandates.
