While there are a few laws I willfully break, because I believe they are unjust, if I ever got caught doing so I wouldn't expect to be let off the hook simply because I disagree with the law. I might try to fight it through the courts, and I might even win, but if I did not, I would expect to have to deal with the punishment. That's what being an adult is all about--weighing the consequences of your actions and making informed decisions, and being willing to accept any unfortunate consequences that might come as a result.
The government can't tell me what is right and wrong, it can only tell me what is the law, and I get to make a choice whether to follow it based on my own personal morals and what the potential consequences are. Such is every adult's choice in a free society.
