".... but somehow suppose the government will be effective in legislating morality."

The gov. can't help but legislate morality there is no way around it.

That being the case your argument collapses.

I think you need to define your meaning of "morality" and "personal behavior" here. (ATB)

I think Andy has a point. I was referring to the attempt to control individual behavior that is properly part of the personal sphere. It does not include the obvious morality-based "you can't hurt, kill or rob anyone else" type laws.
