Are you talking about GREAT men or just celebrities? There is a big difference. The truly great dont use drugs or alchohol to make themselves feel better. On another note, youve asked so many questions that I need a break. Im going out to eat now so good night.

i dont think it's so much destiny as it is a reality. alcohol kills. smoke pot instead, won't kill you and any possible harms are minute. or better yet, cook it in oil and eat it. mmm space cake, better than chicken soup-- good for the body good for the head good for the soul
