You misunderstand me. I'm saying it should be legal, but just because something is legal doesn't mean it's good for society and thus society _should_ pursue legal means to stop people from doing things that are socially bad. There are other, legal, means of discouraging a behavior than just putting a law on the books and letting the judicial system handle it.
