Nope- relativism doesn't mean you can't have laws. I'm not a practitioner of any belief that would end up allowing everyone to create their own laws. You have mixed up law and morality.

But it means I keep the moralizing about the law to a minimum- and understand that the laws are a social contract- and can be pretty much whatever the society I live in wants them to be. You don't understand relativism, or my position at all. Not surprising that you would want to jump the gun again and ASSume again.

Moral relativism does not mean legal relativism- the two are separate issues. You have muddled them together.
