When behavior is enforced under the law, it is no longer morality it is obedience. Those are two entirely different things. Obedience is merely compliance, but morality can only occur voluntarily.

Certainly some have failed to teach their children morality, but attempting to replace it with obedience to whatever laws happen to be in place at any given time is far more destructive in the long run. All you get, then, is a bunch of poodles who roll over on their backs when you shout at them. As soon as you turn away, they go back to licking themselves.

Yup. Whatever some libertarians think, the law is no substitute for morality.
