"Crime is contagious.
If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law;
it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
To declare that, in the administration of the criminal law,
the end justifies the means...would bring terrible retribution.
Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face."

United States Supreme Court Justice Loius Brandeis
Olmstead v. United States
(1928)

Shouldn't moral and ethical issues be placed in the hands of the people? I understand that certain areas were delegated to government to handle. Overall the general idea was that we fostered freedom in the U.S. What we did not want was a controlling government telling us what to do at every turn. The U.S. was set up in such a way as to allow freedom of expression, religion, press etc. At no point in time do I see reason for the government to be a moral compass for individual citizens. If the citizens of a state or nation decided that a moral view or ethical stance should be acceptable, shouldn't that be considered the will of the people? The framers certainly believed in our natural rights as people...why should our rights stop at morality? Shouldn't there be an avenue for the majority of the populace to set their own moral code, as long as it did not take away those specific rights given in the Constitution...Doesn't that make more sense then legislatived morality?

I am kind of scared to tell him...when I thought I was pregnant the first time(about two years ago) he said he would leave town and never come back.. my question is how should I approach him with the situation and what should I expect from him? We arent together and dont think we ever will be. I want a relationship with him, but obvioously he thinks he can do better....I dont thibk he can.

In the book of James (5:14) there is a procedure or fomula for healing. Which churches follow this?

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

should lebanon build a big wall along its syrian border and cut off all ties with syria and in the process stop supplies from getting into lebanon and start trading with israel instead? this would be more politically and economically beneficial to lebanon

"Must a citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree,
resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man
a conscience then? I think that we should be men first,
and subjects afterward. It is not desireable to
cultivate a respect for the law, so much as
for the right. The only obligation
which I have a right to assume
is to do at any time
what I think is right.

Secondly, i watched oprah & saw this other blonde bombshell-looking teen model crying because she thought she was ugly. what's up with the world today? does beauty REALLY MATTER? we will all be put in a casket one day.
