Wait, does this really need to be asked? If you hypothetically have a majority of citizens who wish that rape and murder not be considered a crime, isn't it OBVIOUS that the government shouldn't criminalize it?
Why should a government, that is supposed to be for the people, arbitrarily force values on its people? That makes no sense. If you really think that everyone is morally backwards, then you should try to persuade the people directly through that thing called "free speech". If you try to get a government to WORK the people into fitting your ideals, then what you have is a body, controlled by a self righteous elite, which attempts to mold the people as the elite desires. It's far different than a body which attempts to represent the people.
