Is it edifying? Does it make us better? Does it help us accomplish anything? Is it good for us? I would think that we could all agree that the answer to all of these is no. From the opposite side- Does it influence people to commit crimes? in some cases. Does it break up marriages? it has. Why keep it around?

One word: Freedom.
Freedom isn't about doing what's best for the collective. That's communism. If liberty isn't the lynchpin that the American experiment was built on, I don't know what is.
