2. And people acting with the parameters of right and wrong

can make changes happen to bad laws. At least here in this state, that's the way the laws changed for pot. Of course, we STILL don't have it legalized here, but juries began refusing to send people to prison for possession. And so, at least, consequences for simple possession were changed.

I see it as one of the last lines of defense we the people have to influence the country. Voting certainly doesn't work when you've got cheating and satellites and all kinds of election and elector misdeeds.
