Ahh . . . that's very nice.  The one thing I disagree with is your use of 
{-law'}.  It shows uncertainty on the part of the speaker about the validity 
of his sentence.  In your case, you *know* how you're behaving, but it only 
seems that way to *other* people.  If you drop the {-law'} entirely, the 
sentence is great.
