I can agree with laws when they protect both yourself and others. Take Drunk Driving laws for example: They protect yourself from driving and crashing, and they protect others from you becoming a 100km/ph ball of steel. So the dual purpose keeps it good in my book.

But when you're prohibiting alcohol in someone's home, then I have a problem.

You know how the law of gravity is essentially unbroken? And well... the laws of light and matter?

If drunk driving laws were really laws, they wouldn't be broken. :-/
