Mr. Doctor:
I have to say that I was not surprised at all when I got the news the day after her death.
I actually thought she was going to die way before.


That doesn't make it any less sad though.But I honestly can't feel too much sympathy when artists with GREAT talent ruin themselves that way.
Hopefully no one will think I'm an asshole. I do think it's a shame that she passed away. But this has always been my position: I hate seeing people with great talent wasting them because of dumb things.

Tom:
Shame on you. Substance abuse, depression and other ills are very serious yet treatable issues. It's terrifying that instead of offering support to people suffering from these issues we turn their disease into a public joke and source of ridicule. Personally, I find Russel Brand gross, super gross but this blog post is certainly worth your time.

Mr. Doctor:

Why?
I'm not taking this subject lightly at all or making jokes about it. That's bad taste for me. Like I said, I really feel sorry that she died, I really feel that way but there's also that second thought in the back of my head when I've seen how some of my closets friends are falling not really for addiction but just the overall disease that is "wasting their lifes in such a sad way" and when you try to help them as uch as you can, there's still no response.

Either you meant someone else by the shame on you or I just simply don't understand why my thoughts are incorrect.

PS: If my english sucks too much, I'm sorry.

Thanks for that - a truly touching piece of writing.  And:
