The Wisdom to Know the Difference...

Okay.

I rarely write about pop culture on this blog; I mean, I rarely write about CELEBRITIES on this blog, more precisely.

But I think the news of Heath Ledger's untimely and way-too-young sleeping pill O.D. (and whatever else) at the tender age of 28 is just tragic. He had his whole life ahead of him....

This on the heels of coming back from an Al-Anon meeting today and hearing some extremely heartbreaking stories mingled with Experience, Strength and Hope....yet, people do go on.


Still, I really feel that we have a profound problem in this country with substance abuse and untreated depression and other mental illness. Look at poor Brit, that bi-polar addict surrounded by enablers. She'll self-destruct, too.

Sad, and so unnecessary.....
