I really liked Gard's retelling of his experience with that "law and order" man on the plane. It's been my experience that some of the worst immorality is excused by people saying they are upholding a "system of law and order". Look at the WWII internment camps in the US, the concentration and death camps in the Axis lands... I've run into people in the military who say that they are "just doing their duty", but I've never encountered a guy who acted like the one Gard encountered, as if he was on a moral high horse and Gard was the bad guy for opposing immoral laws.

AMazing!

Good show!

I've yet to listen to this podcast, but the title is excellent.  It reminds me of that song, Grinnin' In Your Face by Gov't Mule.

People always use those kinds of excuses to do things that are wrong:

"We're a nation of laws."

"I'm just doing my job."

"The laws the law."

"He broke the law and he got what he deserved."

"If you don't like the law then get it changed."

"I don't make the laws i just enforce them."

"I'm sure there's a good reason for this law."
