On of my favorite Greek philosophers is Socrate. I love what he said about his imprisonment before his death. He refused to run away in exile because he knew full well he had to obey any laws his city would put forth, and to live in the city meant he had to follow the laws and the punishment for the laws no matter what. It is very noble and I agree with him. (Find the info and exact quotes from Plato, Crito).

Well you can debate what Socrates said about government and laws with me. Of course I'm not gonna write the whole things down lol, but it's from Plato, Crito.

"And they're off!"
"there's the ball,,,"
"Socrates scores, got a
beautiful cross from Archimedes. The Germans are disputing it.
Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct
of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative
is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination,
and Marx is claiming it was offside. But Confucius has answered
them with the final whistle! It's all over!"
"Just look at those enlightend greeks!" :lol: :D
