re: #591 Hanoch

Does a government “tinker with the fabric of society” when it prohibits murder, theft, prostitution, etc., etc.? The notion that law is made without reference to morality is not correct.

Nor is the notion that all morality should be enforced by law.

(re: #597 Sharmuta

It is within the scope of government to to prohibit such things as murder, theft, and rape because they violate the rights of others. Our laws reflect our values, not the other way around.
