7. Ummmm - it's not as bad as drugs.
My oldest brother has a drug problem and he can spend over $1000 on drugs in a matter of days. He doesn't have a home or pay child support for his two children. When he binges he doesn't go to work or call in, he just disappears. He usually gets away with it for a few months and then he gets fired. He could charm the pants off anyone, so he keeps getting new jobs. He keeps his hair short and talks like a "good conservative" so of course no one could imagine he has a drug problem. My other brother is a musician with longish (5 inches) curly hair and he gets treated like shit - looks scary and like a druggie - yet he doesn't even drink.

Moral - look and act like a Republican and you can get away with anything. But -- I digress .... what was this about???
