Hopefully those of you who sniff at the deaths of mere heroin users and mutter: 'You did it to yourself - you deserve it.' are similarly immune to caring about people who die in vehicles they have chosen to drive, planes they have chosen to fly in, homes they have chosen to live in, at the hands of people they have chosen to spend time with ...
Not really, vehicles, planes and homes all carry good an healthy connotations, so death in either is sad, but heroin users choose to do what they do despite education that says do this and it may lead to their death. Many have chosen to heed that education, so it is there, but there are others who choose to ignore the education and do their own thing, they were warned and now they suffer the consequences.
Simailarly those who engage in dangerous sports with a very real possibility of death, they are educated, they know the risks and take every precaution against shit happening , yet they carry on regardless, they die in the pursuit of their leisure, yes, it is sad, but they knew the risks.
But the difference between a dangerous sportsman and a heroin user, is misusing drugs is illegal and through the misuse of drugs crime is committed in using the stuff and the mechanism of supply and funding the stuff.
I wonder, if recreational drugs became totally unavailable, would we see so much crime committed on others ?
