If you think the law is sufficient to protect children and to properly punish and keep away predators, I truly fear for any put in your trust.

I do believe in laws - although I know they are insufficient to prevent crime or properly punish the perpetrators. The subject though was moral laws, blue laws, speech code laws, obscenity laws, birth control bans, alcohol prohibition and the like. Although the sentiment is surely true as well for the protection from and punishment of violent crimes and property crimes.

Yes, robbery is illegal, and robbers should be put in prison - but the law is insufficient to protect my family and property - thus I am armed and have a dog. The law will not need to properly punish the person who breaks into my house, as they don't prosecute dead men.

A law is unnecessary where people have moral standards - where moral standards are absent - the law will be insufficient.

You really are clueless, you are talking to a social conservative and you want to pretend that is what I am fighting for

You are at war with our culture and morals and are strengthening the same court decisions of the last 60 years that has led to the government running every facet of all of our lives, you support the federal government against the parents and local communities, that is how you advance the homosexual agenda, you guys had to crush our communities and our self rule before you could force things like the homosexual agenda onto our communities and culture.

Only the force of law and the force of a hostile govenrment could advance your homosexual agenda on a nation of conservatives that fought it all the way.
