Yes. It is, after all, a law. The point is - if it's a bad law, we should influence the legislative apparatus as it exists to change it.
If you as an individual elect to ignore a law you find bad, that makes you an outlaw. Civil disobedient, perhaps, but you know the drill.

A law is by definition legal, as it is "deriving authority from, or founded on law", so long as a law has been properly passed, and has further been upheld by the courts a law is legal. You don't like laws that don't mesh with your Randyness. I don't like laws that don't mesh with my concept of the universe either. But the fact that you or I don't like a law doesn't make it illegal. And your concept of "objective" only means "that which Terrnce Bergh thinks is objective"- not exactly solid ground, imo.
