The laws of the State of Florida used to allow slaveowners to own, sell, and abuse their slaves. Do you respect that? The U.S. Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision stated that slaves were just so much property and not entitled to the rights granted to human beings. Do you respect that? Roe v. Wade disallows states from prohibiting murder by abortion. Do you respect that? You have confused legal and illegal with right and wrong.

BOILERPLATE ALERT!

Get back to me when you CHANGE the laws.

You can't address it, can you? You can't answer those questions, can you? All of those things were LEGAL until the laws were changed. But were the RIGHT!? You said you "respected" the laws of the State of Florida, so I brought up some examples. Again, there's a difference between right and wrong - legal and illegal just doesn't cover it.
