Comment Re:government must define terms (Score 1) 509

Just to clarify what I said earlier... I realize that the government isn't defining actual morals. I just mean to say that, if a government is to make a law or set of rules based on what is morally acceptible, the leadership needs to define "morally acceptible". Otherwise, it's left to the individual discretion of some anonymous government servant who might not have had his coffee yet this morning. The definition is needed for the leadership to affect change when morals drift.

As far as actual morals go, I agree with you. Morals are defined by people. Morals are taught to us by our parents (hopefully), are affected by our culture, but are inevitably defined by individuals. Things which other people think are fine, I might consider morally offensive, and vice-versa.

By the way, you just ruined my vacation schedule... how can I visit southern Spain now that I've learned they won't let me do any of my favorite things?!? :)
