Twice in my life, in separate decades, I lived off the proceeds of dispensing the elements of temporary physical euphoria. Consenting adults came to me and I gave them a drug for which they handed me money. When I was a bartender, the drug was in legal, liquid form. I paid taxes on what I earned and could tell my mother was I did for a living. Even though most of my regulars were alcoholics, I earned none of society’s contempt for getting them drunk, many on a daily basis. When my own addi

You’ve probably seen the disturbing video that surfaced of a seriously disturbed Maia Campbell from In the House , by now. In case you haven’t, here it is: No punchlines, no snark, this is just sad.
