Amy Winehouse.RIP

It's not really off the rails to point out that people are making cruel and thoughtless remarks, and that it is a sign of our times.

The obvious way to keep people from self-medicating is to make these medical decisions legal and, well, medical. When the medical profession stops pushing the latest magic pill just because the drug company is providing some kickbacks (as well as a very sexy sales rep) and starts offering better service in this area, people like Amy Winehouse will have a better idea of just what it is they need, instead of shopping around blindly for some relief.

It is a complicated issue that is not going to be resolved overnight, specially by those that seem to enjoy dancing on graves.

Boy, the effect of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes is clearly seen in this thread, isn't it. (That's a social comment)

Can you imagine what would happen to your music collection if you took out every performance, every composition where at least some of the artists involved got drunk or stoned once in a while? (That's an appeal to the selfishness of some of the hateful types that have posted here)

If you feel hate towards an addict, my best advice is to get yourself some therapy. The hate is inside of you, and it is damaging you and your loved ones. Oh and stop listening to Murdoch flunkies, it is damaging to you and your loved ones. Get thee to your neareast mirror and repeat the hateful stuff you say and look at yourself as you say it; repeat until you do not like to look at yourself saying that stuff, then you will see yourself as most people see you.
