I feel that if we allowed free market forces dictate what is "right" and
"wrong" we will end up with a much better definition of what is morally
acceptable than if individuals are allowed to dictate the definition of
morallity. I also believe that the United States of America has the best
foundation to this end, the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
There is an inherent reaction from individuals to recoil at laws, rules or
regulations that come from individuals promoting themselves as morally
superior.
