You misread me. If you want to go into a private room and do whatever
you wish, secretively where the effect of your behaviour does not
impact others, as in my example of mother/daughter relationship, it is
onlythen, truly victimless.
btw, to give you an insight into my insight regarding drugs, give me a
heroin addicted surgeon than an alchoholic one anyday.
Of course, this doesnt take into account the reason for the 'alcoholic
gene'. Some would suggest it is passed on, as with many genetic
inheritances.
How would you like to carry the karma of Arthur Guinness :-))).....
