re: ""but it's still a waste of a human life's potential, and the way I look at things, that's always sad.""
I can't resolve in my mind that all "human life's potential" is towards "good".. Based upon what I see so much of and what has went on in history is that so many "humans" come on this scene with an overwhelming potential to do bad.. So if that is the case, I can't feel sorry for those with such a potential to be brought down.. So what little good that goes with that falling, so be it.. Like not "kicking their own dog".. So then in their case, NOT doing something "bad" is "good".. Which should not be in the equation anyway..
But then, of course, as all these like discussions go, it all depends upon how ONE defines something, like in this case, "good" and "bad"..
I define "good" it what is BEST for the greatest number, along their surroundings, environment and follow life beings, etc. with equal care expressed for the minority, all the while keeping them in check when need be..
Not like Craig and ilk and their base seem to think.
"The Haves and Have Mores" only deserve what is best.
