I vote, but that's as much time as I'm currently willing to devote to changing dumb laws. So far it hasn't reaworked too well.
There's one significant differnce between breaking the law to kill (assuming you mean murder, not self defence, act of war, etc) someone and my example of one time keeping a short that was already dead. Murder is morally wrong. Someone can be criminally insane and think it's right, but they're wrong. People can be wrong. The morality of something is absolute. Also, morality aside, the consequences and enforcement are different. Plus murder isn't tasty, unless you're pretty screwed up.
What about breaking the law to do something that's not morally wrong? According to dumblaws.com, it's illegal to go to bed in MA without taking a bath. Ever do that? Does it make you want to run for state senate, or just ignore the dumb law? One is a lot easier than the other and doesn't require you to sell your soul.
