I get it from a public policy perspective letting people like this continue to make terrible mistakes is not good because they and all their dependents end up wards of the state. That being said crafting public policy around them creates a nanny state that won’t allow for shoelaces because the are a trip hazard. Finding a balance between the two is truly difficult.

Besides there isn’t really a liberal or Conservative party anymore there is just the republocrats and the fascists. Both of them think the best place for your neighbors is in jail stamping listener plates because then they can’t make poor choices anymore and they will generate more money for the corporation.
