> The difference is who is threatened by the violation of that unjust law. I don’t give two shits what happens to me for violating an unjust law. Indeed, I consider it a moral imperative to violate unjust laws. But in this situation, society effectively holds a gun to my would-be-lover’s head. If we go through with this, society will do everything in its power to turn that event into a rape, and said lover into a wreaked-for-life rape victim. And while I don’t accept responsibility for that evil, I also can’t bring myself to risk someone I care about in the pursuit of toppling said unjust law.

You have to scroll pretty far down to find this because **Cesario** ’s posts are interminable. Anyway he did say he’d feel obligated to break the laws, but wouldn’t do it anyway, so you are probably technically right, **supergoose**. Nonetheless you can probably see why this gives people the creeps even compared to his other posts.

This comment was discussed on page two of this thread, which shows how low the signal-to-noise ratio is on this topic.
