Ways to make some programs work better

"Protection needs to be afforded to those that cannot protect themselves."

If you are talking about young people or the mentally infirm, then I agree. Your use in context was that you imply all adults need the chaperone of big brother to keep them from hurting themselves. I don't need that padded cell to keep me safe, thank you. What's worse is that not only do you furnish me with unwanted restriction, you expect me to pay for it as well.

Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it
--Woodrow Wilson

Using your example; would it be better for the kids to be raised in a household where daddy gets high, or where daddy is locked away for 5-10 for drug use? Certainly there are many instances now where daddy is a drunk, and child protection should step in if the kids are not being cared for properly. But, just as often daddy is just an old sot and while being a poor role model, would be better than no daddy at all.
