wow
Now it's my turn to say "call me idealistic"
I had actually forgotten that their are still people who don't consider what may have happened to "good people" children,those brought up to feel worthless..those whose suffered hideous abuse, or more subtle continual prejudice, mental illness, things that may have made drugs seem like the only relief.
It takes more than having a job and/or being able to hide your addiction (hey, it could be money, it could be beating up homeless people, )to be a good person.And no, I'm not a "druggie" nor am I homeless, and I have what you could call a job,though I haven't always, it's *luck* not virtue.
I'd prefer a conscientious (or even not so conscientious) druggie to someone who has a high paying job perpetuating environmental disaster, or pandering to institutionalized economic disparity *any day*I actually feel sick..
