When you say that the children are being embarrassed by what someone in their family did, you’re saying that someone is openly discussing something someone did that was wrong. You should be free to discuss deeds and misdeeds.

I guess it’s fun to gripe at those who say something should not have been done which we’ve all done plenty of. But really there is no reason to say we have to shut our mouths because somebody else is breaking the law. On the sunny side, you are free to gripe at us too! What fun!

Yes we can pity this this woman. We should pity he (I certainly do)r — if at all for having enslaved herself to drugs and I have seen plenty of people who did it no matter how many times they heard that drugs can enslave you they choose to do it thinking that they’re going to win the lottery and be the one that it doesn’t hurt. It would be a lot better for a lot more people if they were reminded how often drugs lead to slavery and death. This also implies strongly that at some level, the death penalty should apply to drug dealers, just as it should apply to others involved in slave trade, like Jeffrey Epstein and his friend.
