Keeping order has to do with protecting the rights of others making lets say a law against citizens viewing porn in their own homes or in a red light district doesn't fit in the same category.

I understand "private" stuff -- i'm not for it myself; what about a "public" morality? But, why doesn't making laws about a "red light disctrict" not fit into "protecting the rights of others"? Why shouldn't laws regarding "red light" districts be made? What's bad about them? And, does keeping order have only to do with "protecting the rights of others"? I would think that by "protecting the rights of others" you'd end up placing some on the margin of society...

If you allow vice everywhere it threatens the rights of others because it brings down property values. Thats why I believe in red light districts for certain things like prostitution etc instead of allowing them everywhere.
