I find that more and more laws are passed based on the moral degradation of society as a whole. In the past people had a stronger moral compass that guided them and certain things were not done based on these beliefs. With the loss of morality, laws began to be passed ti try to force morality on the populace. When that was excepted, the next step was special interest groups getting laws passed based on their beliefs, which in my opinion is a perversion of the process. A prime example is the abortion debate. “Christian” extremists are trying to have the procedure out lawed. No one has any right to tell anyone else what to do arbitrarily. It is perfectly ok to lobby against someone getting the procedure, but it is completely inappropriate to take away the choice. Taking away the choice is an unacceptable infringement on personal liberties. I may not agree with having the procedure, but I will never preclude anyone else from making their own decisions. By the same token, I would never and believe it is completely inappropriate to burn the US flag, but I will defend a persons right to make their own decision to do so. I also believe that the state mandating car insurance is inappropriate; that should be the decision of individuals whether to carry it or not. When it comes to speed limits, lights and traffic laws I tacitly agree with them because they are based in public safety. We need to focus on education spending not defense spending so the necessity for some laws are rendered moot.
