I disagree quite strong with the idea that the law should be obeyed just because it's the law.

I discovered something a while back: laws are often put into place for a reason. A person's failure to understand those reasons does not really negate the value of the law. As such, I don't like the idea of people indiscriminantly breaking laws (although it is hard to breath these days without breaking at least a few laws).

Now if you disagree with a law, have considered it thoroughly, and are breaking it as a political statement, that's something different. If you are breaking a law for purposes other than your own gain, that's something different. But the sad thing is, most people don't think about breaking laws for larger purposes. They usually just think about their own immediate needs.
