Is wrong that far from right
i think that Americans have gotten themselves all mixed up in their own view of what is against the law, and what is immoral or unethical. If you look up words like, unjust, immoral, unethical, unconstitutional, or even wrong, they all either mean the same thing, use each other in their meanings, or come pretty darn close to any of the other words definitions. The only two words that I find that really should have similar meanings are immoral and unethical. Ethics deal more with what you personally think is right and wrong, immoral seems to be a collaboration of ethics that most people seem to agree with. While I was talking to my family and different friends of mine, whenever something came up that involves breaking the law, most people immediately say that its immoral. There are plenty of small laws out there that people break everyday, sometimes with out even knowing it. does that make them bad people? i think people today should draw a fine line between the two, because think if our law system was taken away, would are morals go along with it?

I absolutely agree with you. Half the laws out there would not be considered immoral to most people. Like in Kenilworth, there is a law that states that a rooster must step back three hundred feet from any residence if he wishes to crow. If someone got arrested for committing that crime would people think he was immoral, I think not.
