It is simply my position that it is absurd to assume that people can simply "decide" what is best for them.

But it's more absurd for anyone else to assume that they can decide what's best for other people.

Do people make bad decisions sometimes? Yes, duh.

Does that mean someone else should make all the decisions for them? No.

What you "want" I cannot decide for you. What is "best" for you is another thing entirely.

You can't decide that, either.
