I have to disagree here. There's a big difference between morality and legality. Things are illegal for a variety of reasons, some of which are moral, MOST of which are financial or simply expression of power of one group over another. It is not
wrong to use marijuana or brew your own hard liquor with a permit, and it is not
wrong to eat food with trans fats in NY or to allow gay men to adopt children in Georgia. They are only illegal because somebody doesn't like those things or wants to get money from you.
