Topic	Explain how law and morality aren't the same thing?

I'm sure if we start looking at how we treated the Native Americans, things would get awkward fast. Well, that goes into the issue of competing moral systems and philosophies. Morality can be used to justify things that sound horrific, such as viewing some people as subhuman who need to be "civilized" for their own good. Then the treatment of animals is a massive can of worms. Which also goes into the fact that a society can have many moral systems, but you only tend to have one legal system. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:911108395] in Explain ho...
