yes indeed....

high time people were held accountable for their own behavior.

if a person eats, drinks, drugs, or smokes themselves into chronic, expensive, debilitating illness, should they not shoulder most of the expense of treatment?

who knows?

perhaps if the people who were unwilling to subordinate their appetites, were concerned about *paying * for the outcome, they would make more intelligent choices.

then *they* would be healthier, happier, and financially more prosperous....

but no...

my guess is that we will continue to hold harmless and continue to subsidize the bad, persistent choices of those who know that ultimately they will *only* pay the price with their lives...and live off the hard labor and industry of others until then.

we have a word for that...

it's called "enablement"
