Name me one government policy that was successful as a result of writing a LAW that makes the act ILLEGAL. If you can point out to one, I will rest my case.
If not, we have to explore other options to solving these problems.
Driving around without a license is ILLEGAL.
Is it enforced ? People die because of that. Is it not Prone to corruption ?
Think about it before responding. Thanks, -Imran.
Mr. Kaushik Das Responded:
SATI.
Now, please rest our hitleric case and do something useful.
My Response:
Dear Kaushik, I should have been more specific.
If there are consenting adults, it is useless to write a LAW that will make their actions ILLEGAL.
As for your example of SATI, it is NOT a CONSENTING act. It was forced on the widow. Now lets take a different example. Suicide. If an individual wants to commit suicide, he/she will do it. They will not think if it is legal or illegal. Hence it is useless to have a LAW that states that "SUICIDE" is illegal.
Liqour was banned ? Did it work ? Prostitution was banned ? Did it work ?
If there are consenting adults involved, it is practically impossible to stop it by making it ILLEGAL.
