Basically, a law cannot provide or prescribe morality, because ethics is something that is experienced outside of written laws, not inside.
After all, no one opens the law book to find out what he or she may or may not do, what he or she should or should not do. Imposing such things is completely insane. A person's everyday life is morally self-explanatory in that it can be experienced in an unforced - not enforced - way.
Very well said. Not only is morality implicit, and laws are not equivalent to morality, but it is exactly the opposite, the more laws are needed to live together, the less moral people are. Think about it, if a person needs to be forced to do what is right, then that is not a very ethical person.
Moreover, since the regulations are incomprehensible and constantly changing, people simply stop looking because it is too tedious for them.
That's right. In fact, in modern countries today there are so many laws and so many regulations that most people have probably committed "crimes" without even knowing it. It's there, in everyday actions. But there are so many, so many, that nobody bothers to know them all. It is true.
It is an interesting topic without a doubt.
Cheers. :)
