"Laws and governments exist to constrain us from making decisions that are morally and ethically wrong..."
Now that's what I call drinking the Koolaid!
Modern government and its cannibal practitioners wouldn't know a moral wrong from a kazoo.
Your faith is misplaced.
Modern government and its cannibal practitioners wouldn't know a moral wrong from a kazoo. I noted what it is there for. Not how you view it or how some of abused it. Some of those people have no more sense than those they lead. Elections are for putting decent and upright people in office, not charismatic devils. And how do you know where my faith is. If you think it's in government, you're silly as well as presumptuous.
