now you're just being silly.

please tell me what part of the moral code I have violated by driving 30 mph in a 25mph zone. unless you argue the absurd point that if it is a law that is what makes it a moral issue. Which, as any good freeper will tell you, is absolutely circular (hence, faulty) logic.

Well, perhaps saying all laws are moral is a bit hyperbolic, but criminal laws certainly are based on moral views of behavior. Murder is illegal because we believe it is immoral for a person to rob another of his life. Indeed, our view of the right to life is inherently moral, as are all other views on rights.
