15. Has it ever occurred to these people that morality and legality
are two completely different forms of deterrant?

Moral decisions depend upon free will. Consequently, choosing not to engage in a particular activity simply due to fear of fine or imprisonment has nothing to do with morality. We know this. Why don't they? When are they going to leave everybody the fuck alone and take care of their own souls?
