Isn't fake morality fun
Like prohibition, which did nothing more than increase the power of the mafia in the US.

I find the old laws most fun.
These are the ones that no-one can be bothered to get removed from the statute books. Here is a great set of examples http://www.equerry.com/html/fun/eq_humor-shl.htm

You can bet that most of them are still there!
What makes it even more scary is the fact that every so often, the local nuts in power will start to enforce some ancient law.
I recall this happened up north when they decided to arrest someone for cursing in front of children.
