John, I do live in a society in which I have to live by the laws of that society and I do have the right to judge seperate laws to their effects on this society. My political ideology might be Anarchism, but I am not actively into politics or into changing systems, I'm an observer from the side line, just as you and billions of other people with us.
Don't try to paint me as a political activist, I am not, but I do have the right to state my opinions on what I observe, just as you have this right. This might come as a surprise to you but I'm quite moderate in my actions and have enough respect for the system I live in to use the possibilities this system provides me to display my own thoughts, without resorting to defending or wanting to actively tear it down.
As in all systems, there are good things and bad things, pointing out the good things doesn't make me approve of the whole system at all.
