| What outrageous law or laws would you REFUSE to obey? |
|
say for instance a draft. would you just obey? or if your girlfriend had an unwanted pregnancy and bushco's zealots tried to prevent any abortions? would you obey the law, or not?
at what point, and at which outrage would you finally put your foot down and say, 'fuck this'?

Income tax. A violation of my fundamental right to privacy.

| 16. Yeah. So I guess the poster will have to stay out of our national parks |
|
and probably shouldn't let themselves or their children apply for student loans.

| 7. Don't be too hard on yourself...I do, too. |
|
As a federal employee, I have very little choice.
I expect I'll be that way for the next 10 years, 8 months, and 28 days (when I retire).

| 9. Wouldn't ask my girlfriend to disobey an anti-abortion law |
|
mainly because I wouldn't be sure she could have it done safely.

| 11. That silly seatbelt law! |
|
This is a silly law completely written by insurance companies. I should be able to choose if I want to wear it or not and I shouldn't be forced to. What's next? Are they going to make us wear sunscreen when we go outside to prevent skin cancer?

| 13. Criminalization of flag-burning |
|
I've never burnt a US flag in protest. If the (so-called) 'anti-desecration' amendment passes, I'll be buying small flags by the gross and burning them in protest EVERY FUCKING WEEK!

| 15. Burned my draft card in '67. Now I support the draft. |
|
Ironically, I now favor the draft and would encourage disobedience to it if it came back. There's nothing like having to unwillingly hump a ruck and risk your neck to sharpen one's sensibilities about war.
Note: Burning my draft card at a demonstration wasn't all that heroic on my part. I'd already put in my four years of slavery to the state.

| 20. The assault and battery laws. There is no good reason to |

contain anger. It can be greatly detrimental to one's health.
