>>>I'm curious how far breaking the law is ok in your view then. What else is it ok for them to do? Rob a bank? Steal from the grocery store? Steal a car? Break into homes and steal another person's belongings? Anything they think they need to do for a better economic life?

>>Funny how "breaking the law" suddenly gets explained via straight theft from a person. I somehow never see embezzlement, corporate fraud, Ponzi schemes, buying laws, Microsoft etc. As if any of these aren't a convincing example.

Here in Illinois our latest rogue governor, Rod Blagojevich, just finished a trial on multiple corruption charges. The most notable was trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat when Obama was elected President. ("This is f*****g golden and I'm not going to just give it away" was one of his many profane comments recorded on wiretap). The jury wound up deadlocked, 11-1, and he will be retried next year. The holdout was a 67 year old woman who said everyone and their mother was pressuring her to go along but she simply did not think his actions were criminal, just unseemly. I don't agree with her but respect her position if that's what she believes. That's the system we have (stolen more or less directly from you folks).
