[Rhodes22-list] Jesusland and Moses

[Steve]

The one thing that I have always known is that there
can't be a law for everything.  HOwever, if you factor
in a little morality; there is not a need for a law
for everything.  If people were a little more moral,
the world would be much better.  

Example, the dems want more gun control.  Now there is
this little law dealing with murder.  If someone is
willing to break the law dealing with murder - how is
another law dealing with gun control going to stop
anything!

Morals - is the key to a just society; not laws.  Laws
are for the justice that must entail the crime.  But
laws without strong punishments do nothing.  The dems
have lost touch with that and the people of this great
country put then on notice durning the election.

PS - Stan, was reading some of your posts.  I bet you
