So says every two-bit con-man, ex-con, and small-time hustler. "Just leave me alone to destroy myself, to pollute the nation's blood supply, and to bankrupt the nation's health care and health research budgets! Take away all warning signs from all highways, and let people learn the hard way! Remove all guard rails and fences from all sheer cliffs, and allow me to call myself 'compassionate'. Just leave me and my sacred dime alone, and don't take away my little gratifications lest I turn to rage!"
