Do you believe that murder is a heinous crime? I think most of us would say that it is.
There are books available --
lots of them -- which tell you how to kill someone.
If we equate talking about how to commit a crime with committing that crime, we've thrown out the entire basis of our justice system, which is that people are charged with the acts that they actually commit, not those that they think about, talk about, or imagine. That's not a step I think it would be good to take.
