The laws should be for the
good of the population, IMO. Otherwise America would probably still have slavery.
No no no no no.
Criminal laws should be there solely to prevent people from causing harm to other people. The criminal law should
not be there to stop people from fucking themselves up, however good that might be for the NHS and taxpayers, otherwise once you go down that road of justification you're banning McDonald's, booze, mountain biking, casual sex and (and this is where Craster gets out the muskets) bacon.
