ORIGINAL: Gauge If you want to disregard one law, why not throw out the rest of them as well? I mean, if adults can choose to do what they see fit, then why have the laws in the first place? Not agreeing with the laws is one issue and we have the freedom in the USA to do that. Not abiding by the laws is a choice that carries consequences if caught. Just because something is a LAW does not make it RIGHT, does not make it BEST nor does it make it something we should ABIDE by. I'm not suggesting we overthrow our government, but I won't follow a law just because it happens to be a law. Don't take a reasonable statement and throw it into a hyperbole to render it useless. Abortion used to be illegal, segregation used to be legal, I think those were wrong too. I'm not saying "let's throw out all the laws because some of them suck!" but I am saying that we need to decide what is right and best for our own selves, no matter what any law says. As I said from the start, this is a personal choice. I absolutely respect someone who says "Sorry, you've had too much caffeine today, let's wait until later" or even someone who says "Sorry, I only date smokers" But don't get upset with me because my choice doesn't agree with yours.
