Only the physical laws of nature are truly absolute; all others are, in the end, only guidelines.

Good point. Some posters here seems to believe they live in a world of platonic ideals. There are no grey places for them. Piracy=bad because it is against the law. Corporate theft from the community=good because it is not against the law. They appear unable to recognize that the law can be wrong and the law-makers can be corrupt.
