> There is a moral agenda with this new wave of legislation, no doubt. There is a counter agenda of the immoral to stop it. There is also a range of stakeholding groups bolstering and bandwagoning on both sides of the issue. I trust neither but given the simple choice of supporting morality vs its apponents, I have to go with morality.<

By identifying the opponents of this measure as 'the immoral', you seriously diminish the chance for any serious discussion about the underlying issues. I would regard myself as moral. As it happens, I don't think the Ten Commandments are especially useful as a moral code: they identify morality too much as *not* doing a specific (and eccentric) list of things; several of the commandments have lost their historical relevance (the first and second are primarily about polytheism and the worship of idols). Am I immoral because I suggest that morality will not be well served by putting up the Ten Commandments everywhere?
