The editorial, ("Robinson gives illness a human face") goes far too easy on this man, who is the author of his own misfortune. Simply, it is not true that "drug addiction could happen to anyone". Most of us choose not to snort white powders or stick needles into our arms. That behaviour is just plain stupid. Nesta Primeau Surrey - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
