Think of it this way. There are buses in LR that will give a free ride, and 20 bucks free play with a buffet to those willing to go! This isn't exactly advertised to again, The Waltons, Rockerfellers, Hunts, or Stephens families now, is it?

I imagine those families are just as vulnerable to addictions as anyone else, maybe more so. They have more money. Have you ever read the autobiography of Eric Clapton? It's a very good read. Nobody is special or immune to personal bondage. Removing the tempting stimuli per se doesn't usually cure the problem either. I believe it takes a lot more than merely that and I'll bet you know exactly what I'm talking about if you are in the profession I'm thinking you are.

Hence, my psychology reference on page one. I completely agree about addictions thus allowing attention just to be adverted elsewhere as the core problem still exists.

More good stuff.
