This conduct is being directly subsidized by your tax dollars. Hedonism, when not supported externally at the monetary expense of others, is transient. It is self-correcting. It is self-limiting. The nanny-state is precisely why this is flourishing; and why the hell do communicable diseases proffer special civil rights protections??? Totally insane.
Be careful not to do more harm with an open hand than you would do with a closed fist.
I hope this is a financial metaphor.
In the context of this thread, it might be interpreted differently. :^)
