"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat
"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
― Russell Kirk, Author of The Conservative Mind

"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."
1972, Coast Guard Cutter Rush in Alaskan waters. We saw this regularly. Threw water over the signal bridge. The bow would disappear beneath the surface, then with a huge shudder, it would cause a huge swell as it broke out again. Good times. Sandwiches for dinner, as the cooks couldn't use the kettles or grills. "Walking" down the amidships passageway, you would basically bounce off the walls on either side. Unofficial USCG motto: "you have go out, you don't have to come back".
But the really fun thing, was waiting for a big rise, then take one step and go from the bottom of a ladder and step off on the top. You could time your trips down the ladders too. Never got old.
I did notice in the video they are all laughing.

What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

That's from Maria Bamdford's new Netflix show Lady Dynamite, which is freaking hilarious.
