Happy Easter- Morality, Hypocrisy, and Law

The Post I Wanted To Write
After reading A Mockery of Justice by Stephen Gustistis I wanted to write an Easter inspired post about Jesus, Law, hypocrisy and a libertarian view of morality. However, I am in Ohio visiting family. So, here is the rough draft/outline-
Jesus had a list of grievances against the Pharisees, one of which was hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy-
Where to begin? John McCain supports the drug war and opposes medical marijuana, yet his wife is an ex addict. I would have also mentioned the Governor of New York, and the Senator from Louisiana.

Libertarian Morality-
I would have finished by pointing out that simply obeying all the laws of the State of Texas (or the federal government) does not make a person good or moral. Here is a great quote.

If a person is forced by violence or the threat thereof to perform a certain action, then it can no longer be a moral choice on his part. The morality of an action can stem only from its being freely adopted; an action can scarcely be called moral if someone is compelled to perform it at gunpoint.

Happy Easter!
