That depends on what you are going to measure ... do you mean in terms of Financial gain? Or in terms of an overall improved standard of living? Or maybe in terms of a better developed social morality?
See I think that ANY improvement in social morality is a better gain than ANY financial improvement .. so I would like your perspecticve on this .. because right now your use of the terminology "higher net positive" suggests a purely economic gain .. which I would rate at the bottom of the scale.
(And before you go off on a tangent, I accept that in the world we live in economics are important .. but they are a means not an end.)

Fuck who stole the jam out of your donut?
A bit of a light hearted comment you you go postal.
The laws are passed by the majority at a particular time and that is what chooses legality, just like the gay marriage act.
Who knows in the future when everyone is dead you and Mashy might get your way, but no matter what system you run, no matter what morality you go by there will always be people that disagree and break those laws and in doing so legality beats morality.
If you can't understand that then you are so much dumber than I gave you credit for.
See .. I reswpond in kind (light-hearted) and you "go postal" (where the fuck did hat exptrerssion come from?) .. LIght-hearted humour is hard to get across on the interdweb.
See - I do largely agree with you (at least I think I do - but let's take it that I do ) as far as ther law and legality goes ..The laws are passed by the majority at a particular time and that is what chooses legality, just like the gay marriage act.

However my position is that morality is always above the law ... if a law wants me to act in a way I consider to be immoral, I will follow my morality not the law ...

legality beats morality.

That why Big Corporations cause so much harm to society and the environment....

Especially that Greenpeace lot. Would be scary if they had any power - they wouldn't hesitate to kill people off to save the planet.
As for Monsanto hiring Blackwater. Doesn't surprise me. If I had bomb threats etc I too would be getting a bit proactive to find out who's out to get me.
Monsanto were scumbags for all the other stuff like pushing laws in their favour etc. But then again so is facebook.
