I am not allowing anybody to break anything. What I am saying is that a person that lives any kind of life will most likely find themselves in a situation where they will break the rules; they will know that they are breaking the rules, they will do it on purpose because from their vantage point they are making the most moral choice. The idea that there is some absolute choice is just nonsense.

If it's sometimes best to break the rules then the rule is not well thought out. I suggest that breaking the rules is almost always bad/wrong. Indeed somethings are always bad. Simplistic you say? I'd say it's more simplistic to say that it's okay to break the rules if the need arrises to do so.
We need order to run an effective society. Order comes from following the rules.....and by the way. Using your logic, a stock broker could break the rules to make more money for his clients......thus we have ENRON.
It's always best to follow the rules. They are there for a reason. Sure you can break some and maybe survive. You can jay walk for years, until you are run over; just ask Margaret Mitchell. You can cheat at school until you have to take the test.
Sure, I've broken a rule from time to time, but I always know that I'm wrong, and I really try to adhere to them. I don't poach. I don't trespass. I don't speed, I don't drink and drive.
Nor should anyone else.
Lastly you are "allowing people to break anything". You are saying that if you deem it correct that you are justified in breaking the rules......It does depend upon the circumstances; but, in general rule breaking should be held at the bare minimum.
