I've met a fellow who recently divorced his wife because of her compulsive gambling habit. They made an amicable divorce agreement, and he paid her a tidy sum of money. She gambled ir all away within days. This chap seemed quite happy that he was out of the picture and didn't have to face this issue any longer. Life has a way of dealing with such things. politicians .... (if they could control our thoughts and movements, many politicians would do that too) Oh yes, in fact this was tried many times. Doesn't work well. Tends to cause far more trouble than allowing stupid people to do their thing. I'm a big believer in Stupid People's Rights.... :)
