Quinten during World War II it was illegal to employ, educate or have any dealing with people who were of the Jewish faith in Germany. It was the law but it was no less wrong.
In the USA it was illegal for a woman to hold any political or senior private company position till 1918 because it was the law.
It was illegal for a non white to own property or vote in SA till after April 1994 because it was the law.
Currently in Saudi Arabia All women, regardless of age, are required to have a male guardian. Women cannot vote or be elected to high political positions.
Prior to 2008, women were not allowed to enter hotels and furnished apartments without their national identification cards because it was the law.
Laws are not absolute because the law is not always right or ethical. Defending people who aggressively enforce trivial violations of outdated legislation because they happen to be soft targets is worth criticism.
I certainly do not agree with lawlessness but we must never confuse the right thing and the law.
“We should never feel like we’re going too far in breaking the law, because whatever laws you break to liberate animals or to protect the environment are very insignificant compared to the laws that are broken by that parliament of whores in Washington. They are the biggest lawbreakers, the biggest destroyers, the biggest mass-murderers on this planet right now.” — Paul Watson
