WHAT? Who in their right mind expects the government to be a moral compass?

I would expect the guidance and teachings provided by my parents and reiterated through many, many tough life lessons to be my by moral compass.

The government? No way! Think of all of the idiots who run the government and then tell me you want them guiding your morality.

"The government? No way!"

Well, who else keeps you from driving in the left lane?
Who else can say that a Larry Flint billboard of an open crotch can not be on a "PUBLIC" road?
Who else tells you that you can not pee in the street?
Who else tells you that you can not fly a plane wherever you want?
Who else tells you that you can not jamb every radio signal with a megawatt transmitter, just so you can have your precious free expression?

Get real!
