"How does something immoral, when done privately, become
moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish
morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist
purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these
crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people."
- Walter Williams, ALL IT TAKES IS GUTS
