Smoking, overweight people, lazy people, people who do not exercise, people who X hurt all taxpayers. Should all the above be made illegal also?

This is not about if sodomy is right or wrong. It is about the power of the state to control people.

Like I said, "if the people participating in high risk behavours, such as sodomy, take all of the responsibility I wouldn't mind the laws being repealed."

I know of no laws already on the books regarding fat people so there are none to repeal. PLease let me know if I am incorrect (with links to the anti-fat-people laws please).

Smoking is illegal in many a place, and lazy people are at times locked up for so being -- "indigents, hobos and loiterers". In some public places -- by law -- you have to have at least some many dollars on you to not be considered indigent.

Now grossly fat people and folks who are out of shape for lack of excercise - as social toxin carriers they are self-limiting. Not so homosexuality -- for most it is a profligate life-style that spreads its poisons rapidly and widely.

Oh -- go read up on quarentines and how Typhoid Mary was dealt with. No crime there, but time is served. Breaking quarentine is a crime -- but no victim, eh? At least there doesn't have to be .. and yet the risk is there.
