Prohibition is the false canard brought up by anyone wishing to justify his defense of immorality, whether it be drugs, porn, homosexuality, whatever...

Actually, you have revealed quite about about yourself by your use of the leftist catch phrase "legislating morality." American law is based on "legislating morality" (I won't return your silly insult about ignorance of history).

The laws against murder, theft, drunk driving, etc, etc, and the laws already on the books regarding obscenity, child pornography, etc. are ALL about morality. Do you seriously wish to posit the argument that they should be eliminated?

Now stop being obtuse, and stick with the real issue, OK? You'll never convince me that you want the laws on murder and child molestation removed, so your 'legislating morality' bunk falls flat on its immoral face.

I would say that all those laws were enacted not because G-d said they were bad, but because you cannot have a society grow and prosper without them. And that those that submitted and passed them did not do it for the sake of the Lord.

LOL! That's my point. You are clueless. You have no idea who I am or what I practice in my life away from this forum.

But you keep on making personal innuendo and supple attacks, thinking you are clever and coy. Don't worry about me, it looks like you have plenty of issues of your own to deal with, one of them being the need to control the world around you. (Just like your hero)

When you get down to it, laws determine the set of offenses that you are willing to kill over, that you are willing to use men with guns to prevent.

I am willing to kill in order to prevent my loved ones from being murdered. I am willing to kill in order to not have my children be molested. I am not willing to kill in order to stop somebody from looking at some woman's breasts.

Well sorry about this but history shows that the phrase "legislating morality" was used fifty years ago by Southern segregationists in opposition to civil rights laws for Black Americans. Some "leftist" movement Orville Faubus and George Wallace had going there.
