"Why are we so afraid to criticize bad habits?"

Facebook  Sean Malone
"I wonder why it's so hard to find the balance of not treating drug addicts like criminals and just immediately sending them to jail, and enabling them with crap like this that makes it seem like it's fine?
Is it really that hard to both 
1) recognize people need help breaking addiction more than jail; and then, you know... 
2) try to actually help them do that?
Why are we so afraid to criticize bad habits?"

Robert Pondiscio 
New York City subway ad tells heroin addicts not to be ashamed, but "start with a small dose and go slowly." 
This sums up my relationship with the city these days: I'm not ashamed I'm from New York, but I'm limiting myself to small doses."
