A statement by a political candidate who is in the news a lot currently: It’s a misconception that you “can’t legislate morality."

People have been trying to legislate morality from long before even the ten commandments and the more than six-hundred laws of the Law of Moses were penned. Way back to Hammurabi’s ancient law code, from about 3790 years ago in ancient Babylon, people have been legislating morality.

It has never worked for long. Why? Because the idea is fundamentally flawed.

Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, was pelted with eggs and shoes by a small group protesting his support of the Iraq war when he did a book signing in Dublin, Ireland this past weekend.

Because of other planned protests, Mr. Blair canceled a London book signing this week. Now he has cancelled a second signing.

Tony Blair’s memoirs, A Journey, have broken sales records for this kind of book, shooting to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list and becoming the fastest-selling autobiography ever for Waterstone.

There is a YouTube clip on Dr. Mercola’s website this week that will just make you smile. It’s quite simple: person after person, all ages and types, says “I love you.”

What’s so wonderful about this uplifting YouTube piece is that it points to something at the heart of all humans—the longing to love and be loved.
