Your adversary is illusionary. People make laws, and therefore create
"badness" and "bad" people, because they can. It is the Western custom to
style lawmaking and laws in terms of "goodness" and "good" people, such as
having the purpose to "protect" "good" children from "badness" "committed"
against them by "bad" adults. But what is "good" and what is "bad", in the
lawmakers' rationale, can be arbitrary fantasy! No matter, the justification
is irrelevant to the lawmaking. Laws are made because some people can make
them, and make them they will. All public institutions, like the Law, are
for the control of people by people. "Morality" is created by the creation
of laws, not the other way round! You and I as individuals might have
morals, and act on them, but the individuals who act through public
institutions are not acting on their individual morals but are exercising
their power to create morality(control) through the laws that they have the
power to create.
To argue laws down on the grounds of a morality apart from this
institutionalised morality(control) I have described is illogical, because
there is no connection between the two, despite the lawmakers' "stylising"
of their rationale and their rhetoric. The only way to get rid of laws is
through the sytem by which they were created, that is by voting out the
lawmakers. Save your "moral" breath!
That is not to say that there is not right and wrong, but they are
irrelevant to Law.
