America is a funny place. If you take pictures of your children fresh out of the bath tub you might get arrested for producing child porn. If you get caught peeing behind a bush you might get arrested for public exposure, even if nobody actually saw anything. On the other hand if you want to fly you have to either let the government take a nude picture of you (via x-ray) or get your genitals felt by a government employee. It is a very odd contrast.
Alcohol is a recreational drug that has few medical benefits yet is legal. Marijuana is a recreational drug that has few medical benefits yet is very illegal.
I know things are slowly changing, attitudes and laws are slowly changing. But while they are changing we have these in-between times when things just don't make a lot of sense. I hope one day they will, but I rather doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

Sadly, I agree that it won't be in our lifetime. And I am enraged by some of the changes...but I think that just makes me old.
