"Deluded" is still pretty strong name calling. If this were Usenet, I'd put
you in my killfile now. It being LUGnet, I'll see if the social experiment
is working.

Let me get this 100% clear. You are saying to me: Get real. Not 100% of all
people smoke crack end up badly, therefore crack isn't a problem? Perhaps
"necessary" was too strong of language. However, it is still extremely
possible for it to be a problem.
But it needn't even be that. There are a multitude of things that could
happen such that the parents screw themselves up so much that they can't
provide an education for their child. Maybe it's just really bad investing,
and they lose all their money and have to pay off huge debt. It comes down
to the same thing: it's not the child's fault.

What if the responsible party is incapacitated or dead?
