You have no idea. I grew up in a family that spent significant time at civil rights rallies and anti-war protests, descended from people who fought other noble fights. Civil disobedience is in my blood. That said, I prefer to try to provoke change within the rules, but have no qualms about breaking rules I think are unjust.
Do I break the rules just to do so? No, that's childish and I haven't been a child for a long time.
But I want breaking the rules to be my own choice and I can't do that if I don't know what they are. For that matter, I can't know if a rule is unjust unless I know what it is.
