I wasn't saying whether it was a good thing that they should be skirted or not, whether the laws themselves were fair or not. In many ways, I probably would agree more with your sentiment than not.

I wonder if skirting the law is the best way to change the law, as it seems to skirt the law-making and law-following process. At the same time, I believe in the principles of civil disobedience, in openly disobeying a law and facing the consequences for doing so in order to shed light on the unfairness of the law. I guess I just don't know how much, if at all, I believe in the skirting of laws.
