So this is what our society does now?  A person has a disease (because addiction IS a disease, after all) and we call them freaks?  Anyone ever hear the term "There but for the grace of God go I?"  I guess if someone you love develops a problem, everyone should just heap more abuse upon their shoulders rather than offering up some human compassion then, huh?  The fishbowl mentality we are currently existing in has grown tiresome.  I think the problem is that everyone is struggling, and looking to take the world down with them.  We already put celebrities on pedestals, so how powerful we all feel when we get to toss a few bricks to knock them off.  I find this facet of the human race to be very disappointing.
