but we do agree the store owner broke the law No that's not clear either. If he refused to do business with homosexuals, then he broke CO's law. If he refused to bake a cake celebrating a same sex wedding then its not clear whether he broke CO's law, and if such an action is breaking the law, then the law runs in to issues with federal statue law and the federal constitution. so he is just a crim and deserves no pity whatsoever One point does not follow from the other. "X broke the law" does not imply that "X should receive no pity", or that X should be punished, or that one should not campaign against the law. But that is settled law No it isn't. See en.wikipedia.org also en.wikipedia.org and en.wikipedia.org Children under 13 shall not work Taken literally and imposed strongly that is a horrible law. It would forbid young babysitters and lawn mowers and lemonaide stands etc. It would be a disservice to kids. But it isn't the law in the US. The US did not ratify (perhaps didn't even sign but I'm not sure, and signing without ratification has no impact) the Minimum Age convention.
