>> The sexually active teens here --- and there are many become lifelong taxpayer burdents. There is an epidemic here of chlamydia in the high schools --- the same one that have day-cares on their campuses. That's a very good thing for taxpayers. <<

A "very good thing for taxpayers" would be to relieve taxpayers from subsidizing this kind of behavior. Once the message sinks in that taxpayers won't pay the medical bills associated with unacceptable behavior, the problem will abate. It certainly may have to get worse before it gets better, but continued subsidizing of the problem will only perpetuate it.

Absolutely. Why should taxpayers (that includes you and me) be forced to subsidize the consequences of their voluntary behavior. We're not to blame. Let their parents take care of them. If parents were responsible for their children's misbehavior, they would keep their kids under tighter control.

Bodda-Boom! Bodda-Bing! You are correct, and that goes for ALL immoral, unacceptable, self destructive behaviors. If people got used to the idea that the bad consequences of their unwise behavior was theirs alone to reap, and that the good consequences of their wise behavior was their reward alone, to be shared with no other, most people would be more careful. It's so easy to spend other peoples money.
