I repeat...crime is what the government says it is.

I didn't know you believed that. Then, from 1920 until 11:59pm on the night of December 4th 1933 (depending on your timezone), selling alcohol was a "crime." One minute later, at midnight, it was NOT a "crime." This means that it was STILL a "crime" in California for 3 hours after it was NO LONGER a "crime" in New York?

yup..by definition.
sometimes the laws are contradictory.
Killing an infant before birth (Abortion) is legal.
Killing after it's born is not legal.
My grandson was six weeks premature (C-section)
explain that.
My 'belief' doesn't change reality. I never implied I approve.
but facts are facts.
read the Ayn Rand quote I posted...she nailed it.

you didn't ask what I think a crime SHOULD be.
you asked what a crime IS.

what I think a crime SHOULD be is any violation of ZAP.
but that's not what it IS.
