Not at all, sir! In fact it's a good illustration of how things ought rightly
to be. If you don't want to obey the laws of one society, then leave that
society and join or build another. The means by which this is done vary widely,
and if you think that it's appropriate, for example, that, say, pot smokers, a
substantial share of the criminal element in the U.S, have what it takes to (1)
go elsewhere and start over, or (2) overthrow, presumably with violence, the
existing system, then they should have at it, taking their chances as they go.
What's wrong is for them simply to thumb their noses at the law and the society
that established those laws, still reaping all the benefits, yet violating the
basic social contract.

After all, the Americans' distaste for English social standards, whether it was
for the British unwarranted taxes or British disdain for the working stiff, was
what "impelled them to the separation" in the words of one of the perpetrators.
