Milt,
Your right. The hell of it is that we can't lump all folks into a single stereo type. The folks that I knew were not substance abusers and did not go into the local Macdonald's and waste the place. This is the case of a person that gets at a point in life where they cannot, for God knows what reasons, handle it anymore. Down and out is one thing, being blue is part in part the same, but there is a dark place that unless one has been there is very hard to explain. Just saying that someone needs to get real or cut the crap does not lend a full understanding of the problem or problems that one goes through that would bring them to such a point.
My concern comes with how many cases of doing oneself in is prevented by another person either recognizing the signs or just happens to say the right thing. But that is a statistic that is darn near impossible to measure as the bad is prevented without anyone knowing it. So buckle up and suck it up are not for the vast majority of human beings, that is something that many may have but I believe that everyone has a breaking point, everyone.
