I'd be ok with that sentiment if that's where it ended, but it
doesn't. As a society, we all pay for people who can't or won't
change. We all benefit greatly being part of a society, but there's
decided disadvantages too. You and yours are part of it whether you
like it or not.

You bet I'm an active participant in society, by serving when called
upon to do so, and paying my way throughout. It is those who are
purposely a parasite feeding on the body of society, and who have done
neither, who deserve no support from those who are.


Here's a thought that has occurred to me before. Don't people who take
"unnecessary chances"--say like people who run lathes, increase the cost
to society in the form of higher insurance premiums for those that don't?
I'm "not Saying Anything", I'm just providing an example, a data point.
I may get a lathe myself someday... if I'm feeling lucky... ; )

Here's a better thought ... only the apathetic and stupid allow
corporations to dictate their choices in life.

What do you call someone who allows government to dictate their
choices in life?
