RE: We are lawful beings, like any.

The stoic Zeno once caught a slave staling and fetched his rod to beat him up. The slave was a clever guy and had been listening in on the discussion among his masters friends, so he said: Don't beat me! By the rules of causality and determinism I was destined to steal.

And Zeno replied: That is true! Unfortunately, by the same rule of causality and determinism I am destined to bet you up.
