Nothing wrong with that. It is why we invented laws: They are not manipulable like gods. Ain't progress great?

Diffidus:

Unfortunately, laws are extremely malleable. They are always changing and being manipulated for certain political ideological ends. Laws can also be changed abrubtly such that, if there were a clash of ideals in a country, and the establishment of the day thought it was getting out of hand, Martial Law could be declared and you may find yourself being shot down in the street by your own government. Laws are useful, but I don't think they provide a firm moral basis as to how we should behave.
