It seems to me that there are far too many people unwilling to draw a line. And it's surprising to me that most of those people won't even draw a line when it could negatively and violently impact their own family. There seems to be a great disconnect between what is actually morally impermissible on an individual basis and what constitutes a "just" application of government, particularly when the state's edicts do not conform with those same moral principles that individuals hold. There's no logical explanation for the conflicting beliefs. Perhaps fear of a lack of "safety" is indeed the biggest motivator of state advocacy and worship. Being afraid of bogeymen is certainly not a new phenomenon and it carries a lot of weight among the uninformed, which is a rather large segment of any given population.
