^This. Instead of making an argument, I'll just leave an example...
I have a nephew that abuses meth. His mother (my sister) can't stand to see him the way he is, she fears for her grand-kids, and (I'm sure) has good reason to be afraid of him, since he threatens to do things to her.
So, while I get the idea of 'let people do what they want', to not consider that those choices could affect others around them just seems foolish to me.
