Moral issues

I hate when people try to divide issues into moral issues and non-moral issues and somehow the moral issues are the issues that really... don't have much impact on anyone so how could they be important moral issues.

Here is my bleg: I wish liberals would try to seize back the language of morality so that whether people have enough food to eat became as much of a moral issue as gay marriage.

When did life and death have less moral relevance than who you have consensual sex with?
