So your answer is that you don’t fully own your body but have allowed others to select what your limits are? Who’s then setting the limits, neighbors? A select committee of like minded ‘smart’ people? A democratic majority? A person doing 120mph on an empty highway is a threat only to himself and as such that person should solely bear the consequences of his actions. With others on the highway that person then infringes on their right to life then limits/’license’ on that person’s liberty come into play. There should be no limits on what I choose to do with my own body as long as I bear the full consequences of my choices.....in a free society YOU nor anyone else should have a say in how I treat myself. Here Coulter has a point, if I can’t pay then I shouldn’t play else society has license on my body.

GeronL didn’t say empty highway, now did he. And these useless dopers are not on any empty highway in our society, now are they?
Nope, while you cheer them on in their right to crush themselves, their loved ones and our society in the pursuit of dangerous drugs, don’t forget to smile as you pay more and more taxes to sustain their sorry welfare funded existence.
Or do you naively believe these cretins are healthy productive members of society and besides... the taxes that the gubmint would be collecting will cover any problems?
