	Gee, I don't know, if you get struck by lightening, why should my
taxes pay for your disability.  Stupid to wander around in thunder storms!
If you have a wreck, why should I pay for Medicare AND unemployment AND
disability AND have my insurance rates go up ?  Stupid of you to slide on 
that gravel !

	Clayton, the point is that we're all in this life together.  We 
MUST help each other through this life.  A person makes mistakes, and a person
helps other people with their mistakes.  Vengeance is the Lord's, not yours
or mine.  Our part is to ease the burden of our fellow travelers, as much as
possible.  You would do better to wonder what it is about the society you've
so carefully built that makes its members turn to the desperation of drug
addictions, and the opium of religion, rather than pretend that the fault
must be theirs, since you think you are happy.  We should be together.
