I disagree. There are many laws on the books codifying social distastes. They keep your local vice squad busy.
- _bin_ 2y agoI thought most people supported moving away from that and towards a more socially liberal model. If we're no longer doing that I have a whole stack of socially conservative policies I guess I'll go back to pushing. I don't think y'all really want to go down this road; it leads straight back to the nineties republicans holding senate hearings on what's acceptable content for a music album.
- fc417fc802 2y agoMany laws come down to distaste at the root. There's usually an alternative angle about market efficiency or social stability or whatever if you want to frame it that way. The same applies in this case as well. For but a few examples consider laws regarding gambling, many aspects of zoning, or deceptive marketing. What's the purpose of the law if not providing stability? Why should social issues be exempted from that?
