Victimless crimes?

Just cause someone breaks a law doesn't mean they don't know it's right. It's more along the lines of not caring about that fact because of the enjoyment they get out of the crime. When someone puts themselves as first leads to doing evil eventually.

People who seek power usually just do so to get control and enrich themselves. They can have the power and the money if they want as the Bible illustrates quite well what is awaiting those who seek out the good life now rather then later. There's no joy or peace coming to those who seek out that which they crave. The only joy you will get in life is through contentment. It is those who seek it through other means who ruin things that are otherwise good such as government. Government isn't bad as it's the people who ruin it by their quest for power and wealth which will never satisfy them.

Personally we don't have any real business making laws out of drug use or prostitution and not having laws doesn't mean you approve of the behavior or recommend doing such things. Forcing safety upon others is another thing we don't have the business in making laws about it but then again it is in your best interests to take those precautions though I wouldn't make a law out of it either.

In the end, making such things illegal is only to do two things. Make money off of fines or help drive up prices of things made illegal such as drugs which makes them extremely profitable. They are also in place to make people buy something that they otherwise wouldn't buy such as oh... healthcare.

how about recent history? portugal decriminalized all drugs about thirteen years ago. both the crime rate and addiction rates have fallen dramatically.
