Yes, to me, that's the essence of it.

a) An objection might be that it can be a rather one-sided agreement...

b) Breaking the law... like, don't sit in the front of the bus when you are black? don't have sex with someone who happens to be of the same gender as you are? There are other examples, too -- it's a time-honored tradition to break a law that you consider unjust, for the purpose of changing or abolishing it (it's called civil disobedience, BTW).

c) "But to live outside the law you must be honest..."
