This is always a fun subject! To think about 'What Might Happen' if the Law takes a break someday? Where would I go? What would I do? scenarios....
Actually, Some peoples behavior is not the least bit constrained by laws, they do pretty much as they please and concentrate on avoiding enforcement/penalty...they break laws all the time! They over fish the creel and size limits, speed, spit on the sidewalk, smoke in a schoolyard! Insider trade! Generally happy go lucky folks without a care in the World!! Utterly immune from the vagarities of ever changing rules and restrictions imposed by other Humans upon them...
Other People are bound by a personally held 'code of ethics' and would never think of stepping outside those boundaries..
Its the 'Goofus and Gallant' paradox depicted in the childrens magazine 'Highlights'!
If the Nat Parks funding was shut down and the enforcing Rangers were let go....'Goofus' would be detecting Gettysburg! Hunting Elk, Grizz and Bison at Yellowstone!, Shooting Denali Park migrating Salmon with a .357!....Just ripping around the US in an RV with expired tags, camping wherever he pleased, flipping lit cigarette butts out the window and drinking even! Just having a ball!
'Gallant' on the other hand, would be all buttoned up indoors...concerned about something having to do with asking permission or getting a permit to hunt for pennies down at the local town park!.......
Its actually very funny to think about! Sometimes, in the right circumstances, a 'Gallant' can go full on 'Goofus'!
I had a 'Gallant' friend who went on a early Spring canoe trip with another Church member of exemplary reputation....The weather went to hell as it always does...Heavy Cold Rain with the Pere Marquette River raging! They flipped of course...made it to shore, near death from hypothermia with all their gear washed down the river....Luckily found an empty cabin along the riverbank...took a piece of firewood and bashed down the door!..stayed there overnight!.....ate the food and slept in the beds!...Boy did I give him Hell about that! An honorable man would have died out there on the riverbank before breaking into somebodies house!
Just saying...Gallants can flip their morals in a hurry!....a Goofus will never have that problem!
Moral of the Story?
Dont be too judgemental of others, for it is written: "Let Him Who is without Sticks, cast the first Stone"
