LEGAL adj., adv. according to law, not in violation of law or anything related to the law.

ILLEGAL 1) adj. in violation of statute, regulation or ordinance, which may be criminal or merely not in conformity. Thus, an armed robbery is illegal, and so is an access road which is narrower than the county allows, but the violation is not criminal. 2) status of a person residing in a country of which he/she is not a citizen and who has no official permission to be there.

"Just because it is not against the law, does not mean it is legal"

Yes it does! If it is NOT legal-it is Illegal. If it is "not against the law" it is not illegal-therefore it must be legal.

Please define again for me, Rhabbi. You have totally lost me.
