LOL!
As far as building codes go, I'm as libertarian as the day is long. I'd rather live in the woods in a funky cabin than in anywhere near a homeowners' association...
Poor? I was dirt poor and raised two children as a single parent, the other half ditched early on. Lack of money has nothing to do with morality or children being raised well. I don't know why some of you focus on money so much, as though more money makes people good or happy.
All laws are legislating morality. You and your ilk just don't want any laws that restrict any kind of sexual behavior; or rather, you seem to want laws that promote sexual immorality. I bet you don't even admit there is such a thing as sexual immorality. It's as though sex is sancrosanct. It's just like fire - fire can keep you warm, cook your food, or burn down a city. Needs limits; just like sex.
BTW, you guys keep getting the meaning of "theocracy" wrong, I don't know how many times I've posted the dictionary meaning. Not going to look it up again. But basically it means rule BY priests, imams, religious hierarchy. It does not mean having laws based on basic religious principles, which is what all laws are based on.
(Which you would know, if you've ever read about the history of English law. Ever heard of Blackwell?)
Kind of conflicting isn't that? You want to live in a cabin in the woods, AND want the government to stick it's nose into your funky cabin checking up on your sex life.
You want the government to keep tabs on the sexuality of its citizens and deprive them of rights based upon that.
You say that you want laws that restrict certain kinds of sexual behavior you disagree with. So, that would entail busting down doors and catching people at home, in the act.
You want theocracy.
Just mind your own business, because its none of your business.
We do not legislate morality.
We legislate Human, Civil, and Property Rights.
Think about it.
"(Which you would know, if you've ever read about the history of English law. Ever heard of Blackwell?)"
Yes. Mr. Blackwell is the very gay man who has his "worst dressed" list of celebrities every year.
You are trying to say Blackstone, as in William Blackstone, the author of Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the 1760s. You are in NO position to be lecturing anyone on their knowledge of the Common Law.
And the thing that's funny as hell is, I've corrected you on this before. You just can't keep it straight. :)
