I agree with everything you just said.

But the scandal is the hypocrisy of the situation.  The leaders telling 
us "don't do this" but then putting themselves above the very activities 
they have been appointed to fight against.  Exposing political 
hypocrisy, especially on "no-victim" crimes like prostitution and 
marijuana, is great fun.
