I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Robert A. Heinlein

Good luck with that then if you follow that philosophy.

Let’s hope the rules you find obnoxious don’t lead to your incarceration.

That would probably put an end to such a cavalier approach to being a member of a society.

An excellent philosophical stance, more power to you.
