Sadly, raised w/out fathers or religion many young people really can't understand the distinction between illegal & immoral.

@Aristokles11235 It's more that even if it is understood, anything seen as immoral will be made illegal because banning is a route to power. -
@anomalyuk Before we discuss that do you agree that there is no 'right' to engage in vice & that a government can regulate it as necessary? -
@Aristokles11235 I do agree. Indeed, 'rights' are rarely a useful mode of discussion, except in the sense of rights established by custom -
@anomalyuk Ok. The problem w/ power is not power itself but who has it, what their motivation is & what end it serves, -
@Aristokles11235 The formalist view is that the problem with power is the destructive behaviour it incentivises in those who compete for it. -
@anomalyuk They actually provide cover for the worst sort.
