Law and Justice

In this article, "Law and Justice," the author is trying to tell us that there are times to go against the law if something isn't right.  Like Zim said, "Bad laws and bad policies endanger our lives and freedoms." If there is a law that encroaches upon our freedoms, we shouldn't have to obey it or it should be changed.  His opinion goes with John Locke's Compact Theory of Government: if the government goes against the people and hurts or goes after their freedoms and rights, the government should be changed.  I think that he is trying to say that we should do what we feel is right, within the limits of our government.  If we don't think that we should be forced to do what the government says to do, we should be able to take them on and challenge them.  He's trying to say that laws are just an outline to what we should do; the laws shouldn't hurt our freedoms or our rights.
