You're not feeling well and have terminal cancer -- and don't want to be doped up on morphine derivatives. So you smoke pot. Big deal if this might have long-term health consequences. It's your life; you're in pain; and you're likely not going to live long enough to get, say, lung cancer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why should anyone else have a say in this anyhow? Again, the solution is quite simple: eliminate states and turn over the statists to me for medical experimenta -- er, re-education.</DIV>

He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame... as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world... aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure."
