"Are you contending that there is no such thing as a victimless crime?"

If we include the "indirect" victims, yes I am.

So, then you are stating that my possession of a lottery ticket within the border of NC (a crime), is not a victimless crime?

Who is the victim of my crime of possessing a lottery ticket?

Yes, we're all "victims", indirectly. What affects one affects all in the embrace of the collective.
