Oh, I certainly agree that laws are not a proper mechanism for enforcing morals, and often they are not effective in their aim... but I look at them as an attempt to find a common minimum moral thread for all people in a community. Perhaps I should have put some emphasis on "intended" in my opening sentence.

But what is a law if not an enforced moral?
