    How will you know whether or not your are committing a felony? I,
    personally, know less than 1% of the laws on the books, and those only
    in a popularized form. And I don't know how much less than one percent,
    but I do know that it decreases with every law that gets passed.

    Personally, I generally try to obey all the laws that I know and
    understand. But I am well aware that it is ... less than 1% ... so I
    would only issue a "so don't commit a crime" comment as a form of
    sarcasm. But that doesn't seem to be what you are doing.
