"Alcoholics like George W. Bush and Kim Jung-il are not social drinkers. There is an enormous difference."

Bush drank to excess when he was a youth in college and changed his ways very soon after that. He has been living a very decent and moral life ever since 30+ years ... his entire adult life. Kim has been a binge drinker while leading his country and often goes off the deep end in the ways you describe. We have no evidence that Bush's conduct is outside the norm for any decent adult in our society.

There is an enormous difference between the two and it doesn't seem just for you to continually represent them as one personality.

Confession: I cheated once at croquette when I was 9 years old. How does that reflect on me as a fifty something person?

Really, you don't need to apologize to me. Everyone makes mistakes.

I knew you'd drop the brain damaged Bush stuff if I could just explain it to you.
