And I choose to live in New Orleans for political reasons I can not discuss on this forum and would not want to.
That's the thing, most people like myself do take some liberties, the difference is knowing we are in fact doing something wrong rather than fabricating elaborate justifications in an attempt to make it right in our own mind.

Another thing is people who do or think different than I are not "meat pylons" or "idiots" simply because of it, its not all about you/me, they may do dumb things because they're not thinking or are thoughtless, but they're not doing it to us with malice. Try saving the moral outrage for those few who do, instead of treating everyone as a door mat on the path to your desires.
