Fine, get help, but for all of our sakes, please stop the media attention. No more stories with blurred faces and garbled voices about how John Doe stole, begged, and borrowed his way from CEO to gutter boy because of his voracious smack habit. No more probing investigations into the entertainment industry and the pervasiveness of drug abuse and the tragic loss of young talent plucked from the vine too early. No magic narco-fairy flitted down from the Hollywood hills and punted that speedball down River Phoenix's esophagus. There's only so much pity to go around.
Morons go to the back of the line.
This country has gone anti-drug crazy. We are chasing our own tail and tossing money overboard by the bucketful. We are trying to keep fingers in the dike, but there are a lot more holes than there are hands. It doesn't help when the CIA is bringing bundles in the back door. It doesn't all come down to legalization rhetoric either, it's all about hypocrisy.
