Here's your misunderstanding: only theocracies decide morals, democracies decide rights. There's a HUUUUUGGGGGEEEE difference. For example, you might say, "murder is immoral that's why it's illegal". NO! Murder is illegal because it violates the *rights* of the individual it's committed against. The same is true of stealing, etc. You see, this is the genius of our form of government: we're not tied to one arbitrary world view such as Christianity. The electorate has no business legislating morality and doing so is, itself, a perversion, immoral, and offensive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:180598 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
