From D. Todd Christofferson:
"Policemen and laws can never replace customs, traditions and moral values as a means for regulating human behavior. At best, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. Our increased reliance on laws to regulate behavior is a measure of how uncivilized we’ve become.”

I think that quote hits the nail on the head. It's my opinion that laws reflect more of the values and standards of society than dictate them. Real change isn't going to come from Washington, real change happens in our homes.
