Johannes, I have probably read this post 4 times and the way in which you added to my post makes for some profound reading. Thanks. These passages I particularly admired. <<<I would want it to have built into it an expectation that any man old enough to be her brother, should treat her with a semblance of brotherliness and any man old enough to be her father should take it upon himself to treat her with a semblance of fatherliness. Here, even should she err, the society generally would help influence her toward the values that society cherishes. >>> <<<I have often said we are legislating ourselves into oppression. A moral society follows the spirit of a law and not merely its letter. We no longer believe in the spirt of anything, and so we must try and capture the spirit of a law by letter. The problem is, the law becomes so complex it is unenforceable.>>> <<<Yes. I would fight to the death for the rights of Jews, Muslims, Witches, Atheists, Blacks, Whites whomever, should I find us all embracing the fundamental morals that I see in nature. >>> Wonderful words and the exact ones someone should be standing up and speaking in the halls of congress.
