To all you people that say that the government shouldn't legislate morals, every law they pass is based on morals. Think about it.

Heres an example of what Im saying; Gay groups think its immoral to discriminate against them because of their sexual preference,right? What if one these groups was able to enact legislation against people,who for moral reasons, dont feel homosexuality is a good thing? Say,like the Boy Scouts? How do you explain to your son he cant go to the Jamboree because the government doesnt agree with BSA's stance on Sodomy?

Every law? Every Law?

Actually, I think laws should be based on protecting rights and not imposing morality. Think about it; you could say that killing someone is immoral and get into all sorts of arguments about self-defense, the death penalty, abortion, etc., or you can just say that a person has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that killing them violates that right.

The bottom line is that gov't should not be intrusive and tell us how to live, but should be there to protect our rights only. If consenting adults are into whatever sexual antics turn them on, it's only my business if it violates my rights, which in this case is not an issue.

You're shouting into the wind that is the hot air of folks who've lost all Common Sense.
