> But what is the system - it is just a list of laws and regulations written by Congress This attitude stinks, I’m sorry. “If it’s legal, it’s ethical” is no way to run a society. I had my neighbour on my lawn regarding a minor (cat-related) dispute the other week. He brought his kid with him, trying to show him how to behave I guess. At one point he said “well it’s not illegal” and I thought, wow, there you have it. This guy, 12-year-old in tow, thinks that actions are de facto fine if they’re “not illegal”. I should have offered to take him to the local brothel. He’s married, I have a long-term partner. But that’s not illegal so I’m sure they would have been A-OK with it.
