There is nothing wrong with government as a tool for curbing gross misbehavior.

The Founders certainly thought there was a LOT wrong with that.

That's why they wrote the Constitution the way it is -- how "gross" a misbehavior is gambling? How "gross" a misbehavior is prostitution? How "gross" a misbehavior is drunkenness, or drug abuse, same things essentially, just different methods? Well guess what, Fester -- the Constitution left gambling, prostitution, and drunkenness "legal" for all intents and purposes. I'm VERY glad that you had zip to do with writing the Constitution, with your attitude about the use of government "as a tool for curbing gross misbehavior." YIKES. You need to join the Democrat party, dear.

The Founders MADE IT A POINT to refrain from using government "as a tool for curbing" those sins. States, counties, cities, are the places where regulations to "curb gross misbehavior" belong, because your idea of "gross misbehavior" may be a very, very far cry from MY idea of "gross misbehavior."

So if you want to live in a place where alcohol cannot be sold on Sunday, if you want to live in a place where smoking cigarettes is virtually illegal anywhere (as in the leftist-controlled home town of Ted Cruz' wife, ironically!), you CAN, and I can live in a place where one's own moral lessons in life are learned by experience rather than by the government deciding what constitutes "gross misbehavior."

Murder, theft, adultery, and slander qualify as gross misbehavior. All of these are subject/objects of law enforcement at nearly every level in case you haven’t noticed. And if you talked to me like that as my son I’d smack your ass from here to kingdom come, verbally at least. Hopefully the proper authorities would also tame your arrogant mouth as well. Grow up, Sonny.
