I agree with you that legislation alone won't fix social malaise. The first task is to change the hearts and minds of individuals.
Where we disagree, I think, is that I believe legislation can be part of a larger movement of cultural change. The law is a teacher. An imperfect one, yes, but still a teacher.
The primary responsibility lies with parents to form their children in virtue, but I think well-ordered laws can give us a little extra nudge away from vice at times when we need it.
yes, i am steadfastly against any collaboration with the corruption itself, government, in any way whatsoever.
government is just a bunch of lazy pigs painting pictures to pretend they are something they are not and get paid for what other people actually do and then act all indignant when their idiot programs end up achieving the opposite. just look up "cobra effect" for an example of the perverse incentives that government creates.
any solution that imposes things on other people is doomed to fail.
no amount of voting ever changes the nature of the government, as an organisation of freeloaders who have god complexes.
