   It's only illegal because there's a law against it. Rescind the law and it's not illegal any more.

      Funny, that.

      I don't even remember where and when and how, but I've encountered the notion that a thing is wrong because it is illegal, rather than the other way round. Frightens me for how deeply that misunderstands political & governmental essentials.
