Laws DO legislate morality, as they should.

Thank you for taking your apparent favorite saying out of meaningful context, thereby allowing it to stand on its own merit. I erred in finding no disagreement here when you first put it forth. Blinded by the untruthful context that I would not want to hear it, I jumped to the conclusion that I agreed that "laws do legislate morality."

Now seeing your little slogan free of surrounding content, I feel a bit embarrassed to say that I had agreed with you. Laws do not legislate morality. My temporary blindness here that led me to assuming the opposite, appears only surpassed by your complete lack of comprehension of what law can and can not do.

Laws do not legislate morality - such a capability is far beyond its obvious limited potential.
