By Binoy Kampmark, published 13/11/2017

Australia, after all, has a humanitarian intake, and boasts about it like a vulnerable child who feels her grades the best in class.

Dear SM,

«All laws are based on agreements»

So person 'A' and person 'B' AGREE to eat person 'C' - Bon appétit!

All cows have 4 legs therefore all animals with 4 legs are cows?

Dear SM,

A. Laws are based on agreement.
B. Some agreements are moral.

Does this imply:

C. Laws are moral.

No, it doesn't!

Y,

Laws are based on agreement, logic and community morals and expectations and while some are better than others, it is far better than no laws.

Dear SM,

Suppose 'A' and 'B' agree to eat 'C'.

They consider it moral to fill their stomach and expect a nice juicy taste.

You call this better and yes, for 'A' and 'B' this could be far better than remaining hungry, but not for 'C'.

What gives them the right to feel better at the expense of 'C's misery?

Y,

A it's not legal
B it's not moral
C it's a stupid question.
