The same cannot be said for any of the things you mention.
- listenallyall 4y agoYou clearly don't realize how fluid "law and order" is. Numbers was an illegal activity, until state governments realized it was enormously profitable, decided to run it themselves, and voila! Now it's legal. Selling cannabis could land you in prison for a long time, just a few years ago, now it is sold legally by companies listed on NASDAQ. Further, tons of actions and activities have "selective prosecution" and now, openly, we have "sanctuary cities" where governments actually welcome people who have engaged in illegal activities (not making a moral judgment, but there would be no need for "sanctuary" if they hadn't broken any laws) and shield them from prosecution.
