It should extend only to target behaviour that is seriously harmful to others. It should never be used as a tool of moral hygiene...... The state should have nothing to say about our choice of girl - or boyfriends or our choice of diet or our artistic proclivities or our choice of intoxicants. Some people will hump themselves to death or intoxicate themselves into oblivion, but that is no business of the state unless the excess decadence truly hurts an innocent third party.........The frenzied crusade to apprehend illegal pleasure seeekers not only fosters violence and corruption, it takes away valuable resources needed to combat serious predatory crime.....Original. New hardcover, small crease on book corner. 2003.
