Do we need others to determine our morals for us?

RE: Do we need others to determine our morals for us?
No I'm with you there Kyuu, it does reflect it I just think it's an important distinction that the law is not the same thing as morality. For example a bylaw that states that roofs may be ho steeper than X desgrees has nothing to do with morality but, is still a part of our system. Or court procedures, not based on morality so much as respect and help us settle disputes.

The core laws, the ones everyone is expected to know is definately based on moral, mutual understanding of each other but, we have expanded it to be so much more. Of course that is not to say it's perfect but, we're giving it our best shot every day.
