    I’m not certain on much, but what I do know is that I believe in law. I like rules and I like order. Even more so I want rules and order to apply universally. You are arguing on the side of chaos against others with the privilege of law to protect you. That’s all well and good until those same standards are applied against you.

      What do you think laws are? Even in the best of societies they are based on that specific society’s idea of morality. They are still important and they definitely should apply universally, but when they cease to function they lose their worth. That website needed to be taken down, and not getting removed by the government left a citizen to need to bring that balance back.

      You might not enjoy what it looks like, but if you truly seek balance then it’s what you’re asking for.

      You seem be be operating under the assumption that laws themselves will always be just and equal.

        Laws are supposed to be just and equal, it is a common mistake in believing that they should be equitable or that they will be implemented justly or equally.

        Sending a link with no additional context doesn’t make a point. What are you trying to say with this?
