I will say that I don't think that because it is a law it is inherently 'right' but I do think that laws should be either enforced or changed.

Have you heard of the Nuremberg trials? Do you know what the term "Nuremberg Defense" means?
There is no valid mechanism to change laws in any meaningful way from within the system. The laws we have in this society are largely imposed on us by people who have no idea what it is like to live in the conditions we face on a daily basis. On top of that, monied interests, in the form of lobbyists, constantly use their wealth and power to effect changes in laws that benefit their sponsors, and may negatively effect the citizens.
This is what Jefferson warned us about.
"Right and Responsibility," and all that..
