This is downright frightening.  Are you saying that something has to be
criminal before you should avoid doing it??  There is no force of law, as you
put it, but it is a very strongly rooted convention, not to mention just
plain old good manners.

It is this very type of thinking that requires we have so many stupid laws
on the books in the first place!  I find it very discouraging that this could
even be brought up in this discussion.
