Nova:

Read the posts more carefully. It's not about logic. It can't be argued that way. It's about "the way things should be."

"It's not about logic."

I'm thinking if I can reduce his arguments to their base elements, Havoc might be able to realize just exactly that.

You mean "The Way Things Outta Be"..

It's about the way things are. Subverting the economy is actionable. The question is who is willing to take the action to stop it. Illegal immigration is actionable. Again, same question. Patriotism, Morality and business often find themselves at odds. That is why laws have been passed endlessly to constrain business from operating in immoral ways. Not illegal, immoral. They become illegal because they're judged immoral. Which is precisely why the harping by the democrats about not "adjudicating morality" is an oxymoron. Slavery didn't become illegal because it wasn't nice. It was judged immoral and unconstitutional. What the constitution says about it is a moral statement.

Law isn't written because people don't know what is immoral. Law is written because people refuse to be constrained by morality. The system, because they won't constrain themselves, acts to constrain them. Thus, slavery was outlawed. And a war was fought over it because of the desires of some businessmen getting rich off of it. Same thing precisely is happening now. All of America is being put in jeopardy - over the financial aspirations of few hundred companies as compared to, what .. a third of a billion people.. I'll let you consider the risk in light of the disparity and assininity of it. Same situation as those leading to the civil war.
