Hola b13

:megusta:

Well put.
SOME people have the tendency to obey and follow rules, regulations & laws that THEY like, while ones they oppose, if it causes an inconvenience, think it is not just, etc., then just the opposite.


Excuse me, did I just hear you say you've never ever broken a law or a rule?

Perhaps if folks would actually read the history of this matter before giving opinions that don't consider the history it would actually be helpful to the discussion.

In the case at hand, pretty much the entire community, especially the beachfront hotels and restaurants whose clients are affected, has expressed its position against this arbitrary regulation. [/b]

It is a moral obligation of a good citizen to ignore bad and unjust laws.

¡NO!, you did not "hear me say you've never ever broken a law or a rule",
i.e. bringing their pets to the beach, when it is not permitted to do so.
As far as that derogatory comment goes, I doubt that there are many who haven't, including myself.
Example: Driving over the posted speed limit.

Rather, my reply was simply prompted by / directed to a specific comment made by b13--->

("I agree I love dogs but there are places they belong and don't belong. If there is a dog ban it should be respected at least until the ban is modified or lifted. I believe dog owners have rights but I don't think they have more rights than everyone else." )

....was more of an observation in general, that could be applied in MANY situations, apart from the dogs on the beach issue.

And, contrary to your criticism, I have followed this issue / "arbitrary regulation", and I am aware of the various aspects, on BOTH sides of the fence, related to it.
Like anything else, there good citizens who favor it, and others who oppose it, and, believe and act as you suggested, e.g., that they have a "moral obligation to ignore bad and unjust laws."
Do as you please.

BTW, thank you for your reply, and for taking the time to put me before your clients, your family and your own life, to RESPOND to my comment, and bicker with me again.
¡Much appreciated! B-)
