Pretty much saying that the government (which is representing the interests of our society) has a role in preventing self-destructive behaviors when your common sense
fails to preclude them...because the rest of us do pick up the tab, or are impacted in other ways.
I'm all for personal freedom & personal responsibility but people don't all mean the same thing when they talk about it. It's the same reason we have speed limits on
our roads: just because it feels great to some who would love to drive far faster doesn't make it safe or sensible for that to be allowed...there are consequences.
I don't personally care if you choose to self-destruct...that's your business. Until it affects others...
