Even laws concerning murder *and even the most radical atheist would object to murder) have moral overtones. <BR/><BR/>I must commend you for mentioning the Stamp Act! Although I studied history in college and I definitely remembered learning about the Stamp Act, I really can't remember what it was about!

As in the examples you've pointed out, laws are in place to protect our nation's people in different ways. There are times when changes must be made on a national scale because of their immense impact: for example - though it did not, obviously, result in a Constitutional amendment - the American reaction to the Stamp Act was an issue of 'right v. wrong' which needed to be dealt with on a universal rather than local scale.It's Not a Tubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448038392383797876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21099449.post-1149542283948283992006-06-05T17:18:00.000-04:002006-06-05T17:18:00.000-04:00Well argued.
