Whose morality? Very good question. Try answering. This article is not about legal issues, but the same principle would apply: All laws are based on someone's morality. What's okay for you may not be okay for me and certainly isn't for others. You are probably a libertarian, correct? If so, there is probably little that you would say is immoral aside from the obvious crimes of murder and theft.

But where does the line get drawn? Some (I'm sure not you) would argue that adults should be able to have sex with children. If you disagree with that, why should your morality be imposed on those who would go further into the typically unacceptable behaviors?

This country was established on the premise that Judeo-Christian ethics are the basis of morality. Nothing in mankind has changed to justify the unacceptability of certain behaviors.
