One of the faults of being human is that we try to always place a set of laws governing what we believe is right or wrong. It is not so bad when we use these in our day to day lives. It helps guide us to be more have more respect for our fellow people and other species on our planet.
But as you know from life here, there are always people who choose to ignore these rules/laws and do their own thing. So the bottom line leaves us with a set of rules that most believe are correct, but others seem to view them with a different point of view. These people believe that the laws in effect do not pertain to them.
