Not who you replied to, but your comparison is a bit off. Everyone has to choose their own morals and values, and what they think is right or wrong. But no one can choose whether something is legal or not. If someone thinks that destroying property or killing a person for reason XYZ is ok, than they have the right to believe that - and surprisingly many people do. But that doesn't mean they are allowed to, or should be doing it. We have laws because we can't rely on people's morals.


>no one can choose whether something is legal or not

Yes some can, it's matter of influence or how powerful you are


Fair point. (Luckily the Unabomber did not have that power or influence)
