4. I think you don't know anything you did not read from the same sources that say

anything that sells a copy. And thus, you are founding your opinion the same way others who take rags like that to heart.
I personally do not reject nor attack young people who are dealing with personal issues in the spotlight. Personally, I wish Lindsay a good life, for she is a good actor, a good Democrat, and no the only person with issues in the world. Her drinking does not harm me, it harms her. I do not know if she is currently drinking or drugging, and I don't think you do either. Just saying. She's 25 years old. Or, 'a drunk and a disgrace'. I just wonder if that's how you'd like your own 25 year old spoken of if your own had some things to deal with? Perhaps it is. It is not how I conduct myself.
And of course, to me, taking a drink is far less amoral than standing up and preaching that your kind of people are worthy or rights some minorities should not get, adding that God agrees and your kind are 'Sanctified'. To me, that is far worse, more harmful to others, than some twenty something needing help with addiction. Addiction is a medical issue, bigotry is a personal choice.
