"It seems as though you live in an intellectual universe wherein your view of reality dominates."

There's only one reality and it's unique. The term intellectual refers to a rational basis for observation, analysis, conclusion and decision, rather than an emotional, or reactionary response. Now reality just is, and being unique, it only has one essence. That means that one either grasps it correctly, or they don't. That means one is either right, or wrong-that what they hold is true, or false.

"But, do you have the fortitude to intentionally violate a law which you believe is unconstitutional and suffer the consequences?"

I don't wear a seatbelt. It's a Freedom thing. The Constitutionality of the law is irrelevant as far as my decision is concerned. The law is just one of many intolerable affronts to Freedom some folks have advanced for the cause of socialism and other variations of tyranny.

Since folks have made it the law in some places, they are free to charge me with violating their vile law and attempt to make me suffer, should that occur. After all, it's not out of benevolent concern that they've instituted such a tyrannical act, it's out of a mix of petty selfishness, a hate of Freedom itself and contempt for the right of their fellows to make their own decisions. As far as compliance goes, they can kiss my ass and stick their suffering up theirs.
