Yeah, real simple, until someone makes it against the law to eat, or use the bathroom, or be black-skinned, or be Christian, etc. etc. Which is the whole point, isn't it?

I mean, if we were to pass a law making picking your nose and farting punishable by death, then you'd be well on notice that you can't do those things. But, that does not mean you live in a "just" society.

So many of you keep answering this question with the same basic reply: "It's the law." Well, no duh. The whole question is should it be?
