Laws against watching and downloading porn would make felons out of tens of millions of American men.

You can't walk outside your house anymore without breaking SOME law. And most of them are designed for one thing only. To extract money from your pocket. Pure and simple.

““Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.””

There is a solution. In the tradition of pre-paid cell phones, Americans can opt to pay a “dwelling exit fee” to a government agency online, giving them a one-trip waiver from inadvertent and unwitting violation of the millions of “crimes” they would otherwise commit just by existing. It would be mandatory to carry a receipt in order to show the various hordes of officials thus created in the new bureaucracy who will be confronting them to prove their right to be outside unmolested.

Just think of it as the price of a free society.
