Morality and Law

So should thievery, and murder laws be extinguished as well? The laws that forbid those are based on morals. If one studies how our legal system arose, arising after the black plague in about 1360, the intent was to structure law that was in sync with fundamental morality.

Certainly times have changed. But it is foolish to contend that morality is some sort of problem that needs to be abandoned. To expect to have a society, that has no morals--not to degenerate, is simply foolishness.
