This is what I proposes: When a person thinks they've been harmed by another person they can file criminal charges and or file a civil lawsuit claim against the suspect. Thus just laws prohibit murder, rape, assault, robbery, blackmail and fraud. Prohibiting any act wherein a person initiates force, threat of force or fraud against a person or their property. There is no need for laws that prohibit acts between consenting adults because if a third person is harmed by the actions of either or both the consenting adults they can file a civil lawsuit to gain restitution. If one or both consenting adults assault a third person or commits fraud against a third person the third person/victim can file criminal charges. It's the same for a lone individual that acts without engaging any other person or another person's property. In criminal and civil court trials impartial juries can decide if the charges are valid or if an acquittal is called for.

I agree 100%. I'd love to see a return to a Constitutional Republic. I'm fairly convinced that Socialist Democracies will destroy themselves.

Glad you agree with that.

As for our disagreement on why in the United States their aren't as many murderers as pot smokers -- me saying they don't murder based on moral conscience and you saying they don't murder because it's against the law -- I guess we'll have to agree that we disagree.
