And who is to say when a law is "archaic?" Are the laws regarding euthanasia archaic? What about the laws on indecent exposure? How about the laws on animal cruelty? And the list goes on.....

You and I can break any law we want, as long as we are ready to endure the result. If you and I aren't ready, and the feeling is "it's okay to break THIS law" without penalty because we in our enlightened status think it's archaic despite the current validity," that's no different than the kid who eats all the cookies in the cookie jar because s/he wants to, despite being told to leave them alone.

Either change the law according to our system of government (if the majority goes along with the desire) or accept the consequences.

It's not a matter of "casting the first stone,' but rather being realistic. Democracy or anarchy - take your pick. The choice really is that simple.
