<< The saying goes that you can't legislate morality. Perhaps being a kind person is something that laws cannot create. >>

But, being an unkind person and acting out on it, is something we CAN legislate thru our laws.

<< A law is not going to make someone less of a bigot, is it? >>

But, if that bigot acts out, he'll be acting out in a cell for a longer period of time. This also sends a great message to our children about values. We need to portray good values more to our children. Teaching children that the hatred of others, of other nationalities, is not a big issue, is teaching the wrong values.
