"How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people." - Walter E. Williams

    No need to look far for examples. Apartheid is alive and well in the US-A. Advocating the path to any of that is in and of itself immoral. Ergo sum why are you voting for either the left wing or the right wing of the left? AKA Dinos and RInos or collectively secular progressives..
