Laws do restrict human behaviors, Doc. C'mon.
I'm not talking about legislating "being nice." You know that.

Been suggested by wiser men and women than I for 4000 years or so, give or take.
It's not a matter, again, of merely "empowering the state based on who I like" ... I am not even the central deciding factor.
