What are you talking about! the law could just as easily say drive on the left side of road like in other countries, there is no more moral side of the road.
It was my understanding that people elect representatives who write and pass their laws, maybe it's different where you're from. The moral side of the road is that which the government decides that it is, whether left or right. Which one of the two it is is irrelevant and it's got more to do with historical accidents than with anything else.
Also, missing that comma makes you sound like an idiot.
Transforming a question into an exclamation does that as well.
Not capitalizing the beginning of a new sentence... You get it.
The government does not decide morality and if you think they do then you are the one who is an idiot.
I could give a fuck about my grammar, it's an internet forum not an English class. Also smart guy, a rhetorical question can end in an exclamation point or a question mark.
