I'm sure you would be more then happy to commit an armed robbery to "protect your loved ones"...say even feed your loved ones...it does no harm, 30 sec's inconvenience for the clerk and so much benefit for your family...and I am POSITIVE that you would be more then willing to do the 50 years in prison for breaking to law..(not even a moral law at that) for committing this little, harmless crime...to "protect your loved ones"... this is a specious argument, lacking in any kind of logic...of course you don't follow what I am saying...it requires a moral center and a human concept of ethics and humanity. It also means you would need to have been taught and TO actually understand that the ENDS NEVER JUSTIFIES THE MEANS! and the America is the beacon to the world of what the RULE OF LAW stands for, and is ! So you run out and torture some terrorist schmuck....and find actionable material to protect "your loved ones"......just like the Spanish inquistions did, and the witch hunts in Europe and the U.S. and the Germans did in WW I and the Japanese and German did in WW II, and Chinese did to POW's in North Korea and the Vietnamese did in N. Vietnam.....and man up and take the consequence for breaking the law and being morally corrupt and simply stupid. I dare you!
