"How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannnot be the talisman of moral people." - Walter E. Williams

    Correct...Morality and legality are two different things where the laws are made by kings.
