10. Inspiration

Who can adequately describe any inspirations? Many things suggested my comment.

I disagree with your reasons for rape being wrong. IMHO rape is wrong because an unjust aggressor hurts another either physically, emotionally, psychologically or some combination of those.

Laws aren't morals however the same foundations that determine some things being wrong, also lead to them being illegal. Smoking pot is illegal but I can't say it's wrong and IMO it shouldn't be illegal. There's no way same sex marriage or plural marriage should be illegal.

Just my take. YMMV
