A child overdoses on heroin. Drugs are slowly re-criminalized.

Yup. Blame the drugs, and not the parents that failed to act in the best interests of their child. And if someone who is not a parent of the child in question provides drugs to that child without the permission of the parents, and which results in harm to the child, then that third party is liable, if you ask me.

Some idiot old babyboomers (sorry for the triple redundancy) starve to death because they could never be bothered to save for old age.

So it's the government's job to protect idiot old babyboomers from themselves by pointing a gun at me in order to take some of my income so that the IOB's can have it?

Others lose their savings when they invest them all in Bill Clinton Enterprises.

So it's the government's job to protect unwary and unwise investors from themselves by pointing a gun at me in order to take some of my income so that the UI's can have it?

"A child overdoses on heroin"

Children are a different kettle of fish. Anyone who sells heroin to a kid should, I think, be prosecuted. (And in fact thrown under the jail).

"So it's the government's job to protect idiot old babyboomers So it's the government's job to protect unwary and unwise investors" Well not by me. I guess I agree with you that IOBs will have to go somewhere else. (Of course I guess I am an IOB myself having lost heavily in the market)
