Quote:It was not about excusing behavior at all. You said something along the lines of "why should my money go to help addicts". All I said was a certain group of people have no problem using their money to incarcerate people but don't want to help people with their money. Drug addiction to hard drugs increases greatly the chance that person will commit crimes. If you help them prior to crimes you reduce that chance. Why wait for the crimes for your money to be put to good use?

If being an addict is not a crime then I have zero cause to be involved with their lives. If they commit a crime then I do through the CJ system. A good use is not a valid reason to insinuate yourself into someone elses life. Its immoral and unethical to compromise someone else's autonomy because you think differently, even if you ARE right.
