RE: How Democracy Dies...
I give you an example and then I leave you.
My grandparent broke the law by hiding jews in the attic. (1940-1945)
I'm glad that you still in some cases would follow your own moral compass and not only the abstract arbitrary opinions (laws) of politicians and judges. They are humans too, with their own moral compass. If they have one that is, and if they have one they don't follow it, they only follow the abstract arbitrary opinions (laws) of jet someone else.
Thanks for you replies :)
Edit I added a sentence
edit again ;) Come to think about it, you always make the decision yourself. If you sometimes would reconsider that means you always make the decision to reconsider or not. And blindly following the law is also making a choice. Escaping responsibility is impossible, it it's always the individual who makes the decision and is responsible for what happens. i.m.h.o.
