No, tyranny finds a home whenever a people are weary of honoring and upholding their inalienable rights. Excusing, winking at, and turning a blind eye to evil behaviors is music to the tyrant's ears.

Who says evil behavior shall be winked at?

The law is not the sum total of morality. Also, you are defining evil in a rather narrow way. What of other standards of morality even more harsh than yours? There are all types of prohibitions in the Mosaic Law, shall we ban those activities also? Are they destructive to society as well?

I'd hate to see the laws that spring up in an Islamic state. But you'd overlook them because "hey, the people have a right to determine what society they're going to inhabit." Yep, if 51 percent vote to make me a slave, I just gots to live wid it. Right massa?
