I say we try like Hell to adopt a morality like that of most people in Scandinavian countries, ie Sweden, Norway, et al. They don't have moral objections to sex or drugs, but they generally have STRONG moral objections to hurting each other. Shouldn't that be a starting point for the rest of us?

You are right on, the key to morality is respecting others and ourselves. It is not about power and judgement! What may be moral to me may be immoral to you. As long as I'm not hurting you or others, it should not matter.
As for the government, it is not perfect and never has been. However, it is better than a lot of countries. If you don't like something, do something to change it. If you aren't willing to act, then you have no space to judge.
