Morality and Law are for Losers

This is not a significant insight for it his been reiterated throughout intellectual history. It is however worth another iteration because of its detractors and the fact that examples for the case keep piling.  I use just three cases in our very recent memory to make the case. The case of Donald Trump is just so glaring that it hardly needs elaboration. The lies, bullying, insults that led him to America's presidency are there for all to see. Just this week, a gentleman in Montana won an election for the US congress even though the fact that he had beaten up a journalist in the process was captured on audio. It was only after he won the election that he apologized for the ignominy. If I had beaten up a journalist, this post, if I had been able to write it at all, would have been about my experience in jail and probably about my way to prison. I would have been fired from my job also if my employer had been made aware of the incident. However, our gentleman from Montana will be heading to Washington, DC, to make laws for America. Finally, the Dictator of Burundi who says he is the president of the country. A born-again Christian (by the way, all the examples here are from Christian people), he shot and killed his way to power and manipulated the election to keep himself there. Now he says he wants to revive moral rectitude in the country. His target is people who are co-habiting. He says that co-habitation increases the population of the country and poses a danger to the moral fiber of society. He has given an ultimatum for those who are co-habiting to marry, as if that would solve the population problem he is talking about. Perhaps the population crisis does not matter if the people increasing the population are married. There you have it - three examples why morality and law are for losers.
