The Libertarian vacuum theory, that the misery and suffering of the addicts and drunks never spills over into the other lane.
Tell it to Brianna. Oh, sorry. You can't. She's dead.
Tell it to her dad when he gets out of the hospital. Tell it to her mom. I'm sure they'll understand that drunks and addicts have a basic human right to destroy themselves in whatever manner they see fit, and that it doesn't affect the lives of others.
From my home town last week
A Park View senior tragically lost her life in a car crash after being struck by an intoxicated driver in North Carolina over the weekend.
