Tabloid headline from hell

The headline of todays Sunday mail reads 'Girl, 11, hooked on heroin'. A young girl collapsed in her primary school class after smoking some heroin and then admitted that she had been smoking heroin for two months. This is in Scotland, today. In my city.

What can you say? The world is just a messed up place sometimes. The girl was getting a bus to the other side of the city to buy £10 bags from a female drug dealer. She was apparently doing this on a regular basis. Messed up.

But we live in a culture where other deadly drugs like alcohol and cigarettes are legal. When I was 13 or 14 I would drink cider or thunderbird wine in the streets and puke my brains out. Society makes this sort of self-abuse acceptable. Sure, I like a drink every so often but I see what too much alcohol does to people. And cigarettes kill people and have no other purpose that I know of.

Preaching again. Empty rhetoric. Screaming at a wall. How does this get fixed?
