We all thumb our noses at some law or another.

We are a nation of scofflaws, no doubt. I don't think it's helpful to conflate that and civil disobedience. One is noble, the other, not so much.

I agree that our scofflaw patterns are interesting, though, as a window to our individual and national psyches. I don't support such behavior. It erodes respect for the law. Laws that are routinely ignored with good reason, laws such as speeding or fornication, should IMO be taken off the books to avoid this disrespect, which is not healthy in a society.
