So it should be illegal, but let's not 'enforce them' behind doors? I leave you the drug war as a good example of heresy being used, etc. No knock searches, etc.
Government is not God. I'm not arguing the points on immorality. I'm arguing that govt busting down people's doors and arresting people for victimless crimes is the cure, and the cure is worse than the disease.
AOL views the NRA as pornography. That's not a slippery slope I want to go on.

The failings of our government are clear and I agree they have overstepped some boundaries. You cannot prove the crimes you speak of are victimless but I can prove they have many victims. The people who are around these law breakers are the victims as they are affected adversely by the actions of their wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, and friends who partake of these crimes. Man visits prostitute and his wife and children are the victims. Woman spends money on Drugs and his family has to do without that income. These are only small ways they are victimized and these examples only scratch the surface of the potential for evil.
