"Good laws need a basis in concrete things like good, evil and morality. Or so it would seem."
Oh please, tell me this is a joke. I beg of you.
Good...
Evil...
Morality...
Arn't all these things based on perception? If a person blows themselves up because their "religious leader" tells them that's what they're god wants, aren't they trying to be "good"? When a person or group persecutes an entire people because they are "pegans" or "infidels", are they not doing it in compliance? Consider, if you will, a group that kills themselves in an effort to become closer to God. Or a group that forcefully converts entire populations. Is this righous?
How about this. Suicide is considered to be "wrong". However, during Vietnam, certian Vietnamese monks set themselves on fire and allowed themselves to burn to death in protest of the war. Because they did something considered "evil", does this make them "evil" as well?
To set laws based upon "morality"... well, that would possibly lead to greater atrocities to the one at hand. So please, tell me you were joking, I beg of you.
