I think we all are aware of the fact that simply because something is allowed/supported according a particular law, done not automatically make it right (or vice versa). I thought we all knew this, but maybe I'm wrong.
ETA: Not saying that its not important, but usually its an idea that inspires legislation, and not the other way around.

I think you're referring to my post, and if so I was not clear. I didn't mean that there was a legal requirement. My comment was:
so many people in GC forums espouse opinions on issues of which they have no true understanding.
I stand by this and I am referring to opinions espoused of ALL context, not just legal. On these boards alot of people talk in soundbites and when you ask them to back it up they ignore you or never again post in the forum. I have no problem with diverging view points, but please FORMULATE YOUR OWN OPINION and know what you're talking about.
For me this applies to ALL topics, including the law. IF you are going to speak on the law, know the law you're talking about. IF you don't know what it says, how do you know its right, or wrong?
