What an interesting juxtaposition.

I don’t have a chip in my brain telling me I must stop. Ergo, I run my life.
Then again, and very conveniently, I don’t have a problem with the concepts of
Law nor Law making: my perception is that the society I’m part of writes a code
of conduct through folks that are mandated to do so, and can change that code
when/if other sensibilities ocurr. The entity called “government” is just a
coordinator that will make living in community a much easier task.
Having said all that...
The mere fact that I can break the law means I run my life. The fact I choose
not to do so means I run my life in a socially acceptable fashion and thus can
expect respectful treatment from my peers.
Pedro
