"Prior to the 60's I thought they pretty much did. We didn't have 10% of the laws we have today."
So passing more laws would create more morality? Your example proves the opposit. The fact is that people have become lazy. We protect them from others via government intervention, then we give entitlements via the government. Morality has decayed with the increase of government dependence. More laws would just create more decay. If we want to truely be free to be a moral people, then we need to get the Federal government off of the states backs.

No, the laws were necessary to counter the
lack of morality. You think the sexual harrassment laws came first, followed by increased sexual harrassment?
What are you thinking?
