It's actually far more respectful of the institution of law to openly violate an unjust law, than to ignore it. Don't you think?  Civil disobedience can be a very effective component to a movement for social change. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME till you've learned some of the nuts and bolts of how to make it work for you. Unprepared civil disobedience can actually set your movement back, rather than move it forward.
"You must be the change
you wish to see in the world."
