The effects of substance abuse may be a medical condition. The actual abuse is a choice

Thank you, I was going to say that but you beat me to it.

I'm sure Harry has no problem with substance abuse since it provides
rationale for big government spending and helps to keep his wife in
business.



That's really stupid and ignorant.

Here's just *one* example of why:

Many Americans who are injured on the job or, say, injured in car
accidents, are prescribed addicting, narcotic painkillers by physicians
who are not monitoring their patients closely enough. As a result, a
number of these folks become addicted to the pain pills and can't get
themselves weaned from them. Some end up shopping for prescriptions or
moving on to heroin. It's hardly a choice when you don't have access to
a pain management doctor and you have to keep popping pills so you can
try to work for a living.

Herring comes down pretty hard on those who he thinks are not meeting
his standard of being an alcoholic whose substance abuse is temporarily
under control.

I wonder if Wayne thinks that if government spending for sick people was
cut back, there would be more money to waste on his former bankster
employer when it finds itself on the ropes again.

So Rush Limbaugh had a great excuse, heh?

At some point in the pain pill taking process, the taker knows he's taking the pills for something
other than pain relief. At that point the taker makes a decision to cut down or continue. Yeah, it
can be hard.
