| Darryl McKoy:
Well any law that stops someone harming themselves for starters, you need to be more specific in what you mean. My point is that if you start researching what law scholars deem to be the purposes of law, you will invariably find that one of the reasons is to protect what is deemed to be the common morality. Government will always weigh in on morals unless you're proposing the two are completely separated. |
| Nonnel:
what i mean is that government should be detached from moral positions which are up for debate or have been up against major resistance for a long time. harming or killing a person, any sane person agrees, is bad. some people think birth control and abortion are bad or immoral, others don't, so leave the government out of it. |

How you think government should run isn't functional. Policy is what they do, and policy will always fall somewhere on the moral continuum |
