HEROIN ADDICTION IS A CHOICE

I have come to the conclusion that all of the bleeding heads who want to 
help heroin addicts with taxpayers' money are missing the point. I am 18 
and have clinical depression and chronic fatigue syndrome. However, I have 
never smoked or taken illicit drugs of any kind and I do not drink alcohol. 
This is my choice.

It was by choice that the people became addicted to heroin. Therefore they 
should pay for it. They made their bed -- let them lie in it. Leave us 
law-abiding taxpayers alone.
