That is why some people go to NC where the tax is less.......then they sell them in NY without the state stamp.......or, sell singles.

Who decides if a law is unjust? To go to the extreme...For example.. There are laws about having sex with a minor but say a 12yo girl looks like an 18 yo girl ...That is unjust not to have sex with that hot thang! Are you obligated to and is it unjust not to?

Having sex with a 12 year old is in no way equatable to arresting people for selling single cigarette's on the street corner.

I "justify" nothing. Whether it was suspicion of murder or selling cigs...when confronted by the police, you comply. That is especially important if you have a delicate constitution due to very poor health.

I was going off the quote "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so."

Who determines which law is unjust? pknopp I find your commentary very interesting and worthwhile and want to understand what you are trying to say. I may misunderstand.

Ok, so then there's this:

"...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."

Yes then it would be declared unconstitutional. It has yet to be though.

So again, Rosa Parks should have just sat in the back of the bus and shut up?
