So someone in the Clinton campaign talked about how Obama’s drug use could effect his electability. I just really doubt the truth in that. Is there anyone that you know that has never done drugs? Or never been drunk for that matter. I think we hold politicains to this unattainable standard sometimes, and the fact that Obama has never tried to hide this aspect of his life gives me a lot of respect for him. One point for Obama, and another point against Clinton.
So here it is, he is anti-social, on drugs, and plays video games. Sounds like a recepie for disaster. I wish that I could even begin to develop the words as to why this kind of statement makes me so upset. How many years have gone through my life being the same person. But I don’t shoot anyone, or myself. I have some seriously self destructive behaviour, but my desire to play video games and dring alcohol doesn’t drive me to kill.
This young man had other issues. His parents are divorced, he had broken up with his girfriend, lost his job and was living in someone’s basement. You think maybe some of those things combined with a mixture of perscription drugs and alcohol may have had soemthing to do with it. He felt like he had no one to turn to, he felt removed from humanity and alone. There were very few people reaching out to him, and probably a lot of people reacting to him with anger. He was troubled and disturbed, weed and video games didn’t make him kill, mental illness did.
