Drugs. Every day we see and hear countless tragedies undeniably founded in recreational drug use. Considering the massive media coverage, I'm surprised and disappointed the epidemic has not reversed course. Apparently, the allure is irresistible and the grip is unbreakable for those it targets. From the accounts I've read, even the people who have beaten the habit remain susceptible to the allure.
On a separate note, considering his gene pool, I was expecting Redmond O'Neal to be way more Ryan/Farrah head-turning in appearance.
