Was it using the word "propaganda" that turned you off that last paragraph?? <gg>
As for morality being codified by law, those laws are generally laid down according to the morality of the time. Coveting thy neighbors wife, or worse, his teenage daughter, might be morally wrong from my perspective, but depending upon the state you live in, it may not be illegal.
But there are some fundamental areas where laws should mesh with societal morality, which is the arena of the family unit. Those folks without families, either by intent, or circumstance, should be subverted to the needs of those who do. Because it is those family units which have a greater stake in our society since their posterity will be inheriting it's future. Those who are single, gay, or DINKs, should subvert their desire for certain moral freedoms unique to their societal groupings, to the needs and wants of those who deal with raising a family and instilling American values to their children.
I'm going to duck into my foxhole now and await the storm of "incoming" that final paragraph is likely to ellicit... :0)
