Just of a lot.
Don't you understand that conformism, in an insane society, is a form of neurosis?
In an article a few years ago, libertarian Charles Murray argued that the laws and regulations that govern us are now so numerous, complex, and impossible to understand that the average American cannot avoid being a lawbreaker. He cited this endless proliferation of laws as one of the reasons for the current public cynicism and distrust of government.
Ayn Rand predicted such a state of affairs in her 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, and suggested dark motives for it:
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
Corporations, hand-in-hand with governments, are becoming more and more tyrannical: they want too much control over our lives.
"Where there are too many laws, there is no justice." German Proverb.

I keep trying to overlook your broad generalizations and find the humanity in your writing, but honestly, have you expressed a single thought of your own since you busted onto the threads yesterday? Your mind seems to be already made up that you are oppressed or whatever, and you insist on letting everyone know how badly the world is treating you.
Try to concentrate on doing good and helping others, and you will never have to worry about breaking the the law.
