But I prefer a national set of laws that reflects my values.
No, too inefficient. How about a local set of laws you and your peers and their businesses all agree upon? That way you're not getting in the way of people you've never met before, nor will stupid laws like "ban alcohol" or "cut off a lady's clitter" stretch very far.
You have no morality.
Female genital mutilation is an abomination. The idea that the local majority can hire their own police force that will allow it disgusts me.
You're making an assumption; I don't like it either, but morality is subjective, friend. You have no right to force your morals on another.
I do. So do you.
Bzzt, wrong. You don't know how this "rights" thing works, do you?
Mike if you are editting my replies, the done thing is to write "...snip..." where you cut.
For the record, since its something you avoided answering, here is what you deleted.
There are certain things like murder, slavery and child abuse that cannot be resolved within families as generally people are killed by spouses, are forced into unpaid labour by family members and most child abuse is done within the family. You either say you are OK with wife killing, forced labour and child abuse or you say you have the right to enforce your morality on immoral people.
Is the price of anarchy is that we have to allow female genital mutilation?
