If we maintain that it is the government's jobs to keep illegal anything that might do us harm, it implies that anything not illegal is harmless. Clearly, this is not the case. Either people must be taught that what is legal is not necessarily harmless, or our prohibitions must extend at least to automobiles, cigarettes and alcohol. The current hypocrisy practiced in our society is unjust, misleading and deadly. Finally, we have more important things to worry about.
Consensual crimes create a society of fear, hatred, bigotry, oppression and conformity.
They support a culture opposed to personal expression, diversity, freedom, choice and growth. The prosecution of consensual crimes encourages ostracizing, humiliating and scorning people. This creates a nation of sheep. His or her religion. The sharing of a similar religion.
