It's far simpler then that...the harm is caused by knowingly breaking the law.

So by this logic, if the government arbitrarily created a law tomorrow that said driving a red car is illegal, you believe there is a harm caused by someone driving a red car, because breaking a law is in itself harmful. Sounds pretty circular to me.

So it doesn't matter how stupid or unjust the law is? Do you also feel there is an inherent harm in driving 56 in a 55 mph zone? Rolling through a stop sign?

Explain the real harm, as 99% of us understand the word "harm" to mean.

"So by this logic, if the government arbitrarily created a law tomorrow that said driving a red car is illegal..."

Ah, the distortions the doper crowd twists itself into trying to justify their pleasure...entertaining, but meaningless.
