"non crime with a victim" Now there's an interesting new way of describing a matter the law specifically makes a crime. Because the text of the law determines what is a crime and what is nor, not you.

Adultry is illegal?

You apparently thought that statement was about prostitution but it wasn't. I was refering to "cheated on" as the noncrime.

"As for the wife, well her husband cheated on her. That could be considered a non crime with a victim."

My statement about prostitution was that it was a victimless crime (crime defined as an illegal act, not a grave offense or a violation of rights, or most of the other ways the word crime could be defined)

There's a reason you don't see Libertarianism anywhere, Tim. It's the same reason you don't see real Communism or anarchy. They don't work.

The only way that it doesn't work is that you won't stay in a libertarian system, because people like controlling other people. Other than that it works just fine.

What did THEY do to deserve this result?

Who said they do? Or even that the wife does? The wife gets hit worse because its illegal, and to the extent that its a bigger news item, and perhaps more likely to result in a divorce because its illegal the kids do as well. If Spitzer faces an actual criminal penalty does that help the kids any?
