By the way, in your humble opinion, you've listed items that you deem
not "immoral." Would you not consider a threat to public safety
immoral? Have you ever had a loved on killed by a speeder? I watched
my girlfriend's car get t-boned on the driver's side when I was 17 (I
was in the car behind her, Ontario, California, 1975). Have you ever
been in a party at a park with large quantities of beer being drunk?
Watched a fight break out? Watched a man wade into the crowd with a
gun to break it up? Watched that man get hit with a bottle and then
someone jumps on his back? Watched as the gun goes off into the crowd
and the bullet explodes that man's son's head like a mellon (Chino,
California, 1974)? Hmm, drinking in the park and firing a gun near a
public road (the guy came off the sidewalk into the park). Nothing
immoral there. In both instances, young people died. In neither
instance were the young people at fault, but other, older, "wiser"
individuals had, like you, determined that they were either above the
law or the law did not apply to them.
There is no "technical" about it. If you fish without a license where
a license is required, if you take more than your allotted limit, you
are a poacher. That is a criminal activity. One who commits a
criminal activity is a criminal.

Damn Frank,
I'm feeling I lived a pretty boring life in my 52+ years here in CA.
