"I agree. Let's immediately strike down laws on rape, child molestation, murder, fraud, perjury, tax evasion, treason, assault, battery, etc. etc. ad nauseum. All laws are regulations of morality."

Consenual sodomy - no victim.

Rape has a victim.

Child molestatin has a victim.

Murder has a victim.

etc, etc.

I think maybe you have law confused with religion.

Cute.

The original post I was replying to said government should not regulate morality. All laws are based on regulation of moral issues. Murder is a moral issue. Rape is a moral issue. Tax evasion is a moral issue.

If we didn't want government regulating morality, we would have to get rid of government altogether.

This is for all you secular humanists and libertarians out there: If you live in the middle of a landfill, no matter how clean you keep your house and yourself, your house will be filled with stench and rats.
