This is why I disagree with law on a fundamental moral basis, but understand it's necessity for it in a more complex one.
We build all our social forms out of our moral forms, that is, out of our moral understanding... If the blue print is flawed the product will be flawed, but it is also true that people take social forms meant for good and use them for their own benefit, and that is their destruction, sooner or later... The good has to come out of our socieal forms... Government, law, religion, education; all should produce good, and if they do not, and if people are only using those forms for power and wealth, really to deny the good they were intended to produce, then the forms and the people need to be reformed...
