I find it curious that the stunned touchy-feeley set is offended when drunks and junkies are treated with indifference.  Yes, it's true that the clean-shaven man dressed in a business suit is treated far better than the scruffy drunk that collapses in his own vomit..................  that's just a fact!   And that is as it should be.  The herd has more interest in saving the young and the able than it does in protecting the lame and the useless.  More than 97% of drug addicts will be dead within 10 years, regardless of treatment received............  that's just a fact.  During those years, they contribute nothing to society, engage in varying levels of crime, spread disease, burden health-care facilities and litter the landscape.
Darwin got it right!
