But after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. In a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. They must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly”
“Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That's a pretty good rule.”
