If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them. If I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I and I alone am morally responsible for everything I do." --Bernardo de la Paz, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress That post reminds me of this quote:

Sometimes I comply because I agree. I agree we shouldn’t hurt people or steal or defraud. Mostly I comply because I have a healthy fear of the retribution, the threat of violence if I dare disobey. I aim to misbehave, but when it comes to openly disobeying I pick my battles carefully. I refuse to sublimate my own good judgment and common sense to some consensus notion of right and wrong. We all go along to get along to some extent, but presumably there is some small part of all of us that remains secretly defiant of that which we know in our hearts to be wrong. In this sense, we are all closet anarchists to some degree.
