I really don't think we should be imprisoning anyone over a victimless crime. The problem with persecuting someone over a victimless crime, is that you create a victim where none had previously existed. I wouldn't necessarily advocate anarchy. But I do advocate visibility of the government (as a method of accountability), such as live and permanent video feeds anywhere that someone is arrested, in prison, in a court room, etc. So I'm not against government. I'm just against a government that creates victims by persecuting someone for a victimless crime. And I'm supportive of more visibility of anything involving criminal arrests / imprisonment / charges. A government that creates violence / coercion / violations of individual rights / victims, where none had previously existed, is not doing its job. Its job is to create a civilization without violence / coercion, with individual rights and a free market. Remaining silent is a victimless crime.

Nice. Tham, principled, moral people stand against immoral laws. Should Rosa Parks have moved to the back of the bus? Should Harriet Tubman returned escaped slaves to their "owners", rather than helping them escape? Perhaps MLK should never have conducted sit ins, or other civil disobedience. What of the white rose society, in Germany, or Ghandi's salt making in India? These men and women are rightfully recognized as heroes, because they had the moral fiber to stand for what is right, against, if necessary, what is legal. This is how all great reform has come through history. “If you … want to be free in the United States, then you have to obey the cops/government, because they are in charge”
