Law is a good thing, just not sufficient. Every legal system has holes, and society is much stronger if there are additional backstops to bad behavior.

- SideQuark 4y agoAgreed. However, since everyone has different ethics, it's only when enough people believe the same thing is morally correct that it often becomes law. Most of the bad stuff we decry now happened because the masses found it ethical. And certainly plenty we now find ethical will be considered unethical in the future. But of the two, only law is stable enough to run a society. It's what balances all the variety of ethical issues between beliefs.
