    At one time in Florida it was legal to own slaves, and illegal to participate in the Underground Railroad to free them.

    Don’t confuse legality with morality. Sometimes the former takes time to catch up with the latter.

      I specifically said I still find it creepy even though it’s legal.

      And I do agree with the principal of those relative-age laws, I just disagree with the numbers.
