So now you're advocating two classes of laws. Some you want enforced (presumably murder, assault, theft, and so on), and some are there to "send a message" but you really don't want them enforced. Do you not see the tremendous potential for abuse when someone in power decides that one of your "message" laws needs to be enforced firmly?
These guys think government is a good choice to define morality. They do real well at it, Billy and Hilly are good examples of government being the guardian of morality.
