Quoted: Sometimes being right isn't just being right. If NYS suddenly passed a law that made it legal to sell cocaine to children under the age of 10, would you run out and buy a kilo and hit up your nearest elementary school or wait and see if someone fucked up? Conversely when someone says to me I have to comply because "it is the law", I have to ask them "so if you lived in Holland in the early 1940's you would have turned in Anne Frank, if you knew where she was, because it was the law?". I usually get the look that they consider me an idiot at that point but I think the argument is valid. |

Legality does not establish morality; slavery was "legal" as was apartheid. Legality alone cannot be the talisman of moral people. |

I usually get the look that they consider me an idiot at that point but I think the argument is valid. I'm not talking for or against compliance. Just speaking to the people who want to, for whatever reason, be in compliance. Every discussion of SAFE doesn't need to turn into the DO NOT COMPLY shit show. Personally I have no comment on compliance and never will, so if that's what you think I'm talking about, now or ever, reconsider; simply a discussion of what is and will be within the law in the present and near future. |
