John In Detroit said:I disagree Woodartist, You can not blame ANYTHING on drugs, Drugs are inannamate objects like Rocks or concrete slabs, When some Idiot goes 100+ mph around a curve which has a 35 mph advisory sign and runs off the road into a tree killing himself and all inside the car do you blame the concerte? No, Do you blame the car? NO, you blame the idiot who decided to do 100+ in that curve.
When by some miricle (Spelled s e a t <space> b e a l t) one of the occupants survives and tells the story of how the driver was a real idiot and hollered "WATCH THIS" just before splattering his brains and those of his front seat passanger all over the windshield (What few brains he had) do you blame the car NO (Note, there are cases where you do blame the car but this is clearly not one of them)
I don't blame the drugs, I blame the druggies, in this case that is 4 adults, partnts and killers

There is one kind of drug deal that goes right far as I'm concerend (Well 2) That is the folks who sold drugs to a friend of mine who happens to be named John as well... For some reason he never bought from the same supplier twice (Unless he was buying asprin)
Wonder if that had anything to do with the fact he's the best Narcotics officer I've ever met (Very evil grin)
The other kind of "right" drug deal is leagal drugs (IE: OTC and Prescription)

Some VFR rated idiot takes off in his Piper in IFR conditions and flies into cumulus granite and it's the airplane's fault. It got so bad they all but put the general aviation industry out of business. Only an act of Congress has started to turn things around.
Don't you ever watch television?? All the lawyer's ads will guarantee you that NOTHING is your fault.
John In Detroit said:I spent New Years Eve babysitting one of those (Or rather what was left of it) when the local PD ran out of reserves so they called up RACES (Of which I used to be a member and will be again soon as I finish my re-certification) Seems this "pilot" (And I use that loosley) had gotten his license in the mail the day before, so he checked out the club aircraft, brand new, only air time was the delivery trip, and took a few of his friends out to celebrate. Well, as you know, most folks think the only way to celebrate is to drink poison and he was no exception (Alcohol is a poision) so, nicely buzzed, off they went, Straight into a storm, and SPLAT they went all over a park up in Troy Michigan. (This was around a quarter century ago if you wish to look it up, likely a bit more)
At least he won't be doing it again
