Our standards of morality and quality life are constantly compromised in the name of freedom of speech I am more than perfectly willing to sacrifice morality in the name of freedom of speech. 'Cause once we start compromising
that, we're in deep trouble. Morality is something that can't be legislated. Everyone had their own ideas about what is "moral" and what isn't, and I don't want the government deciding for me by way of constitutional ammendments, or any other laws for that matter. As long as one's actions don't interfere with me or anyone else, why should I care what people do?
I think I said in another post in this thread, something like:
First, let's ban same-sex marriage; it's immoral.
Then, let's ban same-sex sexual relations, since that must also be immoral.
Next, we can ban sex outside of marriage, since many consider
that immoral as well.
And also, let's ban all types of sexual relations that some of our more extreme moralists are against, i.e. anal sex, oral sex, etc.
And, now that I think about, while we're at it let's ban the performance of the sexual act in anything but the missionary position.
And I guess we'll need "sex police" to arrest the offenders.
Yeah, I know, it sounds ridiculous. But remember the slippery slope. If the religious right ran the country, we'd be on our way to the above.
There are Ten Commandments. If you follow them, you can't get in trouble. Come to think of it, our Constitution was based on them. Go figure.
Let's do a constitutional ammendment banning adultery. Then we can put half the adult population of the United States in jail
