ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.

I have few such qualms now, regarding as I do all institutions as inherently evil due to the Milgram Obedience to Authority effect www.new-life.net/milgram.htm and their ability to regularly rob me blind for driving, parking, having a job, having a house, drinking, using a mobile . . . . .
