I have committed crimes. They fall into two categories
1) I think they should be legal.
2) I think they should be illegal, and I accept that I have done wrong.
I haven't fervently lobbied for a currently legal activity to be made illegal, until I was affected by the issue, then gone ahead and engaged in the legal activity and indulged in 'special pleading' as to how I
need to do this legal thing, its everybody else that shouldn't be doing it.
