John, like it or not, you're under the rule of law. There are evil people in this world who will come and attack you legally, but that's not really the issue. The issue is that you are obedient.

This flows inexorably from a source. If it weren't for that source existing, there would be no reason to follow the rule of law here.

I disagree. We are all to point people toward right behavior at all points. Right now everyone's working on "Hmmm, well, I think ... maybe I'm okay to use this." Let's bury that indecision and doubt and find out for sure.

Following the truth never hurt anybody. The truth is always victorious. It always stands completely triumphant in every situation ... in the end if not in the moment.
