When one holds a hypothesis, the hypothesis is held until it is disproved. Our society has held several hypotheses for a long time. Now we reject several hypotheses, not because they are disproved, but rather because we have not proven them. Note that morals cannot be proven - just as scientific theories are never proven, but rather, those that last have simply never been disproved. I fear we have begun a trend - a trend of destroying all moral hypotheses, to be replaced by power struggles, with the law on the side of all groups who have historically been 'oppressed' (which is to say, that the force of moral hypotheses was against them). In this way the law is expediting the process of disestablishing all moral hypotheses that once ruled our society. Such unfounded hypotheses include property rights, marriage, differences between genders, sexual ethics, modesty as a virtue, self-control as a virtue, belief without perfect evidence (note that even to affirm the existence of others involves such belief), respect for elders, prohibitions of murder, rape, incest, bestiality, prostitution (already nearly legal in the form of pornography and being a pornography worker), polygamy (which will soon work its way through society), and the like. None of these morals or moral prohibitions will escape the scrutiny of the new moralists.
A new society will be formed, but first the old must be destroyed. Nobody builds a house without first knocking down the old one which is in the way. Every hypothesis which serves as a base to our society - down even to murder - must be re-examined, because we refuse to hold those hypotheses which are handed down to us without 'logical' examination.
