Raggytash: I can assure you Joe I, and I would suggest most people, refrain from crime because we are told by "authorities" not to commit crime.

That's actually rather scary. I know that I don't commit crimes for the simple reason that it is wrong to do so. For anyone who thinks civilization is a good thing, committing crimes is irrational. If I wanted to commit a crime, I'm smart enough to figure out how to do it without getting caught.
