Can I chime in with a few reading recommendations:  'A letter from a 
Birmingham Jail', by Martin Luther King, jr., 'The Story of My Experiments 
With Truth' by Mahatma Ghandi and my favorite 'Civil Disobedience' by Henry 
David Thoreau.

My point is that obeying unjust laws - laws which violate the conscious of 
society - is paramount to getting them changed.  There are many examples of 
this in history.  Just sitting back, 'trying to change them' is not always 
effective especially when you need to put the world's spotlight on them.
