98. If the family had six shopping carts of cigarettes, I would not be defending them.

You have to love moral relativism.

Laws are abstract constructs; they don't exist outside of our imaginations. Hunger is a real event. Abstract concepts, such as laws, are very handy, but the moment an abstract concept hinders one's literal survival, it should be abandoned. Convenience should never trump human life according to my value system.
