No?

Then don't call the police when your house gets robbed because you chose not to build the walls and doors out of nearly unbreakable titanium, build the windows out of nearly unbreakable 6 inch plexiglass, and install the best available security system in the world. I don't want to be paying for your choices, and this is your problem now.
Don't call the fire department when it burns down, either. Especially if you didn't install a halon fire suppression system in every room and closet. Sorry for the loss of your house, neighbor, but your choices, your problem.
Quit driving on public roads. Getting around without using them is your problem and I don't want to pay for it.
You'd better send your kids to private schools. It's expensive, but hey, that's your problem.
Fortify the hell out of your home. If we ever get invaded, I don't want the military defending it. It would suck if it got attacked and destroyed, but that's your problem; I'm not bailing you out.

In fact, you know what? You should just drop out of society, go buy your own island, and declare yourself sovereign. There, you will only ever have to deal with your own choices and problems. You'll never have responsibility for anyone else's, and no one will have responsibility for yours.

The rest of us will be over here enjoying something called civilization, where people join together for their mutual benefit and aid.
