SouthCentral WI | "I don't make people do things they don't want to do," I don't even try to make them stop doing things they want to do that I think are bad for them. That's the difference between you and me. You want to make people do things they don't want to do if you think it will be good for them. I think it's morally indefensible," People have the right to go to hell in a hand basket. They own themselves. You either believe that or you believe in slavery. If they want to destroy themselves, they have that right. If they want to take drugs or prostitute themselves, who are you to tell them they can't? You don't own them."
"No, but they do harm to the rest of society. We wind up paying for their stupidity."
"Yes, but the question is, why do we pay for it? We only pay for it because we insist on meddling in things that are none of our affair.
"What if they take drugs and become invalids? Who takes care of them then?"
"No one. They chose that. Let them take care of themselves or die. I never interfere with the destiny people have chosen for themselves."
Just a thought for this am.
