I'm not talking about civil disobedience, but simply living your life without dwelling on someone else's proscriptions for it.

False appeal to a nonexistent herd. People living your viewpoint are actually in the minority. Many people do drugs, and most people speed.
As I said, I too would like actions to better line up with laws. But in our society of victimless "crimes", the answer isn't to insist that people need to follow the abstract model harder, but to fix the model to line up with reasonable people's behavior. And this is not the moral responsibility of people who simply wish to live their life, but of those who are creating this system of rules and calling it justice. To think otherwise is to believe that individuals should be servants of their government.
Nobody's claiming the answer is to simply accept bad laws along with the good ones. That's absurd. It should be pretty obvious that the only sensible answer is to get rid of the bad laws. We're just talking about what to do in the interim, since that process is not going to be instantaneous - scoff at whichever laws you personally disagree with, break those laws and accept the preposterous consequences as a form of protest, or follow them even though they're stupid. If you don't see the first option as a recipe for chaos, I don't know what else to say to you.
Sure it's a recipe for chaos, but that chaos should be blamed on the people who made the unreasonable laws in the first place. "Stop snitching" isn't the problem, it's a symptom.
We're both trying to be good people and improve society, which is why we're debating a moral code to live by.
Correctly assigning blame is an important part of diagnosing a problem. Otherwise, being free from scrutiny, the responsible party keeps right on creating problems.
