Hey, the cartoon was funny and made me smile; but prescription abuse is rampant in America, (and the world), and it's an easy thing to get hooked on FOR ANYBODY, no matter who you are or who you think you are.

A lot of talented and enormously successful men fell into the trap of addiction, including the likes of Picasso, (opium), Edgar A. Poe (alcohol/drugs), JFK (Rx drugs) Freud (cocaine), etc. Not to mention the long list of modern pro athletes, actors and politicians. Addiction is NOT always born of some moral disorder and shouldn't be looked at that way anymore.

Don't get me mixed up with the drug warriors. I think all drugs should be legal.

I was talking about conservatives who eshew such things and have been squirming ever since this icon was found out. Not to mention committing crimes.
