Not to criticize, but before you attack me with your "well its my life I can do what I want, when I want" or "I pay taxes, I can do what I want in the privacy of my own home" excuse, think about what you are doing to yourself.
I have seen first hand what long-term use and addiction of perse(sp?) "hardcore" substance abuse can do to an individual and his/her family. I wish there was a way to put an end to it.
inimical said:It always sounded right but I never saw it happen until crack and heroin came along. And with it, there are no more rules in American crime. The implied agreements on which we were raised were gone. You now shoot women and children. A news reporter is safe as long as he is not there. A cop in his uniform means nothing to a strung out junkie.
