Flaws In the Article

Submitted by David (United States), Sep 26, 2007 at 22:56

You claimed in your article that every nation must have laws, true to a point. Your second point was that our laws refrain evil and reinforce good. Not exactly. The purpose of our laws is not to refrain evil or reinforce good but, are there for the safety of its citizen, nobody wants to live in a society where they can be killed by their neighbor for no reason. Stealing is against the law because people also want safety for their possessions. If our laws refrain evil, then anybody who break these laws are then inherently evil. So if am driving down a 35mph road and am going 36mph this makes me evil. Not the case, I pay my taxes, care for the people around me, and try to treat everyone the way I want to be treated. So there are many flaws in the case that you tried to present.
