I do what I want to primarily because I can. And I'm not going to feel bad about that. Just because a law or contract exists does not make it good or right or moral to me. Look at the world we live in - Might makes Right is the ultimate law in this world. Corporations, governments (all just people really) do what they want and if nobody stops them, then I guess it's fine. That's why it's fine for me to do what I want.

Secondly, I don't care about your moral code or your justifications, I care about mine - but I guarantee you that you personally don't live by the letter of the law or every contract you've ever signed. So, why should anyone listen to you? There are no absolutes and your laws and contracts are basically for people who wish follow them, but they're not for me because I don't live in a fantasy world where everything is perfect and everybody follows the rules.

> I do what I want to primarily because I can.

Then you should've just said this from the start instead of trying to justify it by past spending.

I gave you the justification that works for me. If it doesn't work for you, then go do what you want.

And it's continued spending, not past spending...and my justification also reflects on the actions of my adversaries.
