"Morality should not be legislated" - Well, college-educated and a PhD candidate - you sure you haven't missed out on some of your classes in logic? This is one of the oldest and moth-eaten meaningless statements left over from the drugged up 60's. The only way a civilized society can operate is with an established, enforced code of morality - or what would you call the Code of Hammurabi? The Ten Commandments? What is the point of having a legal code if not to define, protect and enforce a code of conduct (morality0? Of course, if we did drop 'legislated morality'- rights to private property wouldn't exist, slavery would be legal, theft would okay, might would indeed determine what is right.....
For all those 'superior' types who find refuge in a 'superior' neutrality and criticize everyone who comments on these kinds of issues - nothing is as weak as a someone who's afraid to take a position.
