@gungasnake,
Sex law is certainly a good place to look to see how fucked up this nation is. We see for instance
1) not caring about justice
2)not caring about reason
3) we have messed up unhealthy ideas about intimacy and sex
4) messed up ideas about how to produced healthy adults. Our parenting ideas are fucked in the head
5) our fear levels are far above anything that is justified by reality
6) we dont trust
7) we cant talk honestly
8) we dont believe in redemption
9) we have criminalized "bad" thoughts
10) our government has no problem abusing citizens when it can get away with it
11) we are sadistic
All you need to do is look at how it is almost impossible to conduct a reasonable rational civilized conversation on the topic to know how far off the rails we are. I and others have for instance pointed out that our government has very harsh penalties for looking at child porn, but it refuses to tell us straight up what child porn is in its judgement. I get told "if you need to know you must be a perv who should be in jail". This government wants to keep us unknowing what will get considered a criminal act so that we will go to extreme measures to make sure that we are not guilty, that is wrong. . You see people now saying that pics of kids should never be shown to people outside of the family, just to be sure. No. No. No......what we have here is abuse of the citizens at the hands of the state.
