This is true. And I agree with you. In my view, a big part of the problem is that once you get to a certain point, you really just don't give a damn anymore, and your scope of vision is WAY too narrow to even begin that sort of rational thought process.
Another problem, I think, is the fact that we live in a society where, no, it's not okay to get drunk and high all you want without endangering yourself. You can't sit in your house and do this or that, because as soon as someone turns their back on you, or as soon as the pigs get wind, they are coming in.
I knew (know, unless they died) people who would do **** in their cars or where-ever else just to avoid the risk of losing their homes. The war on drugs cannot be won, and John Q. Taxpayer is pumping money into a bureaucratic system that has no positive impact on the numbers and no proven results. But it will NEVER stop, because they get paid as long as they can find someone to punish or treat. Alternative lifestyles are persecuted by every branch on every side of every aisle, and it's ****ing sickening. And now I'm all riled up. lol.
