"Isn't that the defination of legal? Like it or not."

Adultery is legal. Picking your nose in public is legal. Farting is legal. Profanity is legal.

I supposed you think you shouldn't be criticized for doing these things because, hey, they're legal.

You, sir, are the reason we have so many damn laws. If simple courtesy and common sense won't stop you, then I guess we have to write another law.

Wrong.

Spoken like a true statist! When in doubt legislate.

Incidentally for one who claims the 2nd is only protected by their state constitution your slip is showing.

"You, sir, are the reason we have so many damn laws."

Actually, you have it backwards. Your fear and distrust are what politicians use to install more control over their subjects, all in the name of the public good, of course.

"Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges."
(The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.) -- Tacitus, Annales, 1st century A.D.

Moreover, your statements betray your utter distrust of your fellow citizens. While you may hold such feelings dear to your heart, there is nothing there to be proud of.

Stay well,
