LOVE GOVERNMENT? HERE ARE MORE 'CRIMES'

In response to "Drug offenders deserve prison" (Sept. 23 Forum):Let's enact 
penalties for smoking, for drinking, for eating fatty foods, for not 
sleeping enough, for attempting suicide, for just being mean. Let's put 
people in prison for endangering their lives with obesity.

Would that satisfy those who think government should become more invasive 
in our lives?
