Quesetion: Knowing that we will all pay more, should the Insurance companies actuarial tables factor in the cost of liver transplants for alcoholics and lung cancer treatment for smokers when trying to decide what our health insurance premiums should be?

How about insurance costs for our houses because of those who dwell near an earthquake fault?

How about our tax dollars? Should we all pay more in taxes because of others reckless decisions? How about those who willingly live behind a giant wall that seperates their city from the Gulf of Mexico which looms yards above their homes?

To say that somehow, it should be the taxpayers responsibility to pay more taxes, and drain funds away from other necessarry programs just so others can dangle off a cliff in perfect safety is just stupid.

Private citizens have choices. They can live at the bttom of a big bowl, or not. They can donate money to the victims at the bottom of a half full bowl if they want.

But alas, the Blaim Bush First crowd lives on.
