 While I agree with this sentiment, I don't agree
that we should force people to NOT do things that
we think are bad for them "for their own good" so
to speak.

 I should have the choice to breathe in zinc or
asbestos or any other poison that I so choose. I
have the right to be wrong.

 The idea that it costs us money through insurance
or charity is only an excuse. If it's really true,
and it's really an issue, change the insurance or
charity.

 Don't try to take rights away that are not yours
to take. Don't try to take away the consequences
of my behavior. Don't try to take away my right to
be wrong.

 TTYL.
