Something that realyl bothers me there is the moral and immoral distinction of law. Thats BS IMO.
Morals are SUBJECTIVE, not OBJECTIVE and they vary from person to person like the weather.
That whole system falls to bits when you have a person, or a group, that does not see murder or rape as morally wrong, and then what? Humans are not intrinsically good. Not all people are naturally peaceful.
Their premise is great, as long as EVERYONE cooperates and agrees. Any reasonable person will realise that that is just an unatainable fantasy. People disagree, and not all people are the same.
