>>We should let them enjoy the consequences of their own choices, of course. In other words, let them live like adults. As we allow them to do this, they will live responsibly or die. Either way, the problem will be solved. We have no obligation to force people to live sensibly, in correspondence to our idea of comfort and survival.
