text: I'm hardly your boy Bob. What Mitch and perhaps you have totally failed to recognize is that addiction is the end result of a variety of negative circumstances which affect each individual in different ways. While you, I and gloriously wonderful Mitch were gifted and/or acquired a set of tools to avoid or overcome such a result, many people haven't. And the fact that they haven't certainly doesn't make them less human. It just points out how effing deeply human they are. Hopefully, both of you little children will grow up one day and gain some compassion for other humans. If not, stay in Alaska forever where you can do the least amount of harm to others.
