The evils of drug addiction are self-evident, but the worst thing in my opinion is all those sub-humans who get stinking rich by inflicting them on other people, or who insist that their so-called "loved ones" join them in their sad habits...<br /><br />And the music industry seems to have plenty of vultures doing very nicely from corpses.<br /><br />You know the difference between an idealist and a cynic?
