Response to Laws- Julia

Yes, this is quite thought-provoking. Although laws are just an accepted fact in our society, when you think about it in Hayden's terms, they really are just an educated guess of what is right from wrong. I think that this is true for some laws, and untrue for others. The law that says that murder is illegal is not an educated guess. It is an obvious life moral. This is the same for the law that says that stealing is also illegal. These two laws are obviously not right. However, on the other side of things, there are also many laws that could easily be called educated guesses. These are the laws that we have been debating about in speech class for the past week. Things like, "should abortion be legal?" There is so many reasons as to why it should and why it shouldn't. An educated guess just has to be made in order to create this law.
What Hayden said is very deep, but I believe that it only applies to certain laws, because some are obvious as to what is right and wrong for that particular topic (example: murder) and for other topics it is not as clear (example: abortion).
