We all want to legislate morals, because that's what we think is RIGHT.
Like polygamy. It's illegal in this country, yet many people see no problem with it in other cutures. Why do we see it as something we need to make illegal? Because we see it as wrong.
I see few laws that aren't in some way related to a set of morals.
The only two things that have been found to be commonly looked down upon by ever cuture are incest (to varying degrees) and genocide. Everything else is morals.
