I would hate to see what Europe is like if that is the case. I would like America be a more moral nation, but I'm not going to place my happiness at the center of some stupid "society". I think it is good, that you are informing people about the decline of our nation into barbarism. You just might want to ask the Secular Relativists to show you in the U.S. Constitution where it states they have a right to be free morality. Also, Hobbes said that life was nasty, brutish, and short in a state of nature. Men banded together to create a state to assure mutual protection. Since in a state of nature there were no rights, all rights are the given only by the state. This goes against the Locke / Jefferson /Madisonian view (Madison limits it to life, liberty, and property, and the Bill of Rights (the first 10 Amendments) , but it is a good counter-argument against those who think they have a right to do anything they want to.
