   One can avoid air pollution also by not breathing, STDs by not having sex and   
   automobile accidents by never leaving your home.   
      
   People could avoid ladder accidents by never climbing a ladder, bath falls by   
   never bathing, etc., etc., etc.   
      
   The upshot, though, is that as long as someone doesn't impact someone else   
   negatively against their will, whether or not they breathe, have sex, climb   
   ladders, or ingest substances you don't approve of -- IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN   
   BUSINESS!

   "Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings   
    infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can   
    grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it   
    possible for each to see each other whole against the sky."
