They wouldn't be criminals if it weren't for the laws. There's a strong case to abolish illegal drug laws, The Prohibition being the best example of how these laws don't work as intended. "Me thinks thou doth protest too much." So much truth to that, but I suppose Rosa Parks was a criminal too? There are plenty of witch hunts where many people are persecuted without just cause or sometimes any cause at all. I think had it not been for several decades of cultural diversity and sensitivity education, we'd be experiencing McCarthyism at it's finest with Muslim trials much like the communist trials of our much-too-recent history. The shorter our memory becomes, the faster history repeats itself.
