It seems you are suggesting that legislators should not pass any laws to protect citizens. Is that really your contention? Or do you think that some laws (like laws against murder) are okay, while others, like laws against electronic harassment and stalking, are not okay? Your point is unclear.

I makes perfect sense that murder should be against the law, while tapping on a keyboard should not. I can't even believe that is confusing to some people.

You really need to get out more:

The Over-Criminalization of Social and Economic Conduct - (this is from 5 years ago, and the various legislatures have marched onward, churning out more and more and more laws the whole time)

You do understand that the US tax code is out of control, don't you? You understand that the IRS tells you that if you call any of its people and they instruct you on a tax issue, and they're wrong, you're still liable? Their lack of understanding of their own regulations (which can put you in jail) is NOT their problem?

The criminal and civil codes in this country are not far behind.

BTW, Google my tagline and find out what the Romans had to say about this state of affairs millenia ago. The Founders were well aware of this kind of stuff.
