Most of those who have been trained to respect and obey "authority" quickly get uncomfortable at the idea that they should pick and choose which "rules" to follow, and which "laws" should be broken, maybe even resisted. Most people don't like to think about the fact that, throughout history, those who "played by the rules" were the ones who funded, created, and carried out mass injustice, oppression and murder. Pick any tyranny in history and ask yourself, were the "rule-breakers" the problem? No. The rule-makers and the rule-enforcers—those who claimed to act on behalf of "government" and "law"—have always been the biggest oppressors, thieves and murderers. Meanwhile, those who have resisted authoritarian injustice have always been labelled rule-breakers, criminals and terrorists.

So no, doing as you're told, playing by the rules, and following the law, is usually not the way to be a good human being. Usually it is the way to enrich and empower the most evil people on Earth. Does that mean that I think that everyone should run off and ignore the "rules" against theft and murder, for example? Of course not. But the truth is, the arbitrary dictates that a bunch of politicians have declared to be "the law" are absolutely irrelevant to whether something is good or bad. Morality doesn't change just because politicians did some "legislative" ritual. People should always strive to do what is right, whether or not it is "legal."
