You also have the natural right to defend yourself, the natural right to think and determine what is right from what is wrong. You don't have to blindly follow the system because, and this is very important to understand, the system is NOT there to defend your interests. As a consumer you are a pawn in the system's hands that must earn your cash and spend it as the system wants you to. The system is both juror and executioner and as such it cannot be impartial. Which is why you must not follow it blindly.
There are way too many parts of the system for which you don't have a choice but to follow without much hopes of actual justice. You must pay for food or starve if you can't, you must hope to live in a country that is stable and without war or else you can be murdered legally or have to murder if you are a soldier (which is just as bad). If someone commits a crime against you and that someone is very wealthy, he can afford the best lawyers to bail him out and the chances of you going down are very real, and so on ...
So please don't try to be "more catholic than the pope", don't say stuff like you try to stay within the law harder than most people. Just stay normally within the law, don't hurt anyone, pay your taxes and feed your family, that will be achievement enough to be proud of without groveling to the system.
