I agree for most parts. I'm not saying that there is no room in society for morality, far from it. I'm just saying is should not necessarily be legislated by the federal government, and hence be fodder for national politics. If guidelines need to be set for acceptable societal behavior they should probably be set as close to the individual communities as possible (i.e. cities and states). Even in such instances my approach would be as an absolute minimalist, if any.
As far as the whole "when is a person a person" debate goes, we're not going to shed any more light on it here. It's all been said many times before, ad nauseum. :blink:
Signature? What do you mean?
