I smell government conspiracies like people smell Folgers first thing in the morning.
Some may also smell of BO (their own or their bedside companion of unknown species).
But getting back to the thesis at hand -
1. What if nudity and sex was legal in public places? It would put the entire porn industry out of work including the paparazzi and the lawyers and a whole big supply chain - hence such activities are illegal.
2. What if we legalized all forms of narcotics for self use and sold them at Kmart? It would put the cartels and the police force and many more institutions out of business - so we cannot do that. Job security.
3. What if we legalized suicide? Again it will put all the counselors and service staff out of business. Cannot do that. Here the law is hilarious since it is the intent of committing that the law frowns upon; since after successful completion there is nothing that we know of that the law can do to the accomplished.
4. What if we legalized driving at any speed suitable to the automobile design? Cannot do that - are you kidding? A functioning government has to have access to all manners of revenue and tickets are a major one.
Remember guns, cars, ropes, knives, rat poison are all legally available for purchase at your local Kmart or car dealer (ir)respectively.

While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
