“I have the somewhat unpopular opinion that it should be possible to break the law. Recently we’ve seen the #legalization of same sex marriage in many US states, as well as the legalization of marijuana. These are the outcomes of a democratic process, but we also have to recognize that they wouldn’t have been possible without the ability to break the law.
How would we know that we wanted to legalize same-sex marriage if nobody had ever been able to have a same sex relationship, because the sodomy laws on the books in all these states had been perfectly enforced ? How would we know that we wanted to legalize marijuana consumption, if nobody had ever been able to consume marijuana ? We can only desire based on what we know. It is our present experience of what we are and are not able to do that largely determines our sense for what is possible”
