-Caveat Lector-
"It's nobody's business what you do with your own body, least of all
the government's."
Granted...IF the only person your behavior affects is yourself. BUT
when your behavior starts to affect me, whether it be through secondhand
smoke or erratic driving, THEN it IS my business. The public costs--that is,
the cost to thee and me, the taxpayers--of alcohol and drug abuse (that is,
the EXCESSIVE use of intoxicants) are so great that we have an absolute
obligation to get involved. I don't give a @#$% how you choose to kill
yourself. When you do it in my front yard, however, it is definitely my
business.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
