| You guys talk as if somebody is suggesting that we all begin incestuous relationships--far from it. The presence of a law is not going to stop somebody who is in love (or lust) with a consenting family member, any more than the law stops people from using illegal drugs, or whatever else society might declare "outlawed behavior." It never stopped people in the past, and if the Internet is any indication, it won't stop people in the present.
All the law does is punish people who get caught. The War on Drugs is a good example. We've got hundreds of thousands of low-level drug users in prison, at an astronomically high cost to the taxpayers, and for what? So a bunch of crackheads will be off the street for ten years? What do I care if they take crack cocaine?
The number of people who get arrested and convicted of incest is pretty small, but yet a whole lot of people are interested in it, or at least in the idea of it. The less government butts into people's personal lives, the better. If incestuous couples have a brain in their heads, they would a.) not be involved in incest to start with; b.) be taking precautions to avoid getting caught; and c.) BE USING EFFECTIVE BIRTH CONTROL.
But, since people are kind of nuts, there are probably at least some people out there just risking it all. Dumb.  |
