By all means, do punish people for harming others. For grievous stuff like rape or murder, lock them up and throw away the key. But victimless crimes have no business being crimes.
I mean, we all commit on average three felonies a day, right? Is that maybe the sign of a ridiculously overlegislated society? Or is that just the price we have to pay to keep people from really going crazy?
