    No, you have sanity backwards. This is a great argument for our legal system needing an overhaul so that only things that are enforced always are enshrined in laws. Murder is bad – great law. Loitering as a concept – dumb law used to abuse.

      There will never be perfect laws. The idea of encoding behavior is absurd. What we need is let the laws handle the major ideas (don’t kill etc) and let real live humans handle the details.
