I also find it very hard to feel sorry for spoiled-rich-kid, coke-head, alcoholic, sex addicts who make over one million dollars per 30-minute episode of their-particular-brand-of-mind-candy (not even counting syndication deals) to play cleaned-up versions of themselves.
I did watch the latest episode the other night, and felt like the show had already jumped-the-shark . . . what with the under-rated/under-appreciated John "Duckie" Cryer reduced to talking to toasters and all. But the thing that shocked me the most was Sheen's haggard appearance - far older than his years - something that all the expensive, caked-on Hollywood makeup in the world could not cover.
Charlie resembled these folks-with-similar-demons.

Ahh, yes, those "similar demons"...those were a series of photographs taken by a booking officer with the Multnomah County Sheriff in Portland, Oregon. It's called the "Faces of Meth", and is available for use as a drug abuse prevention tool. This particular officer made it a point to track early and later photos as a way of proving that drugs make you very ugly before they kill you.

Oh, but don't think it can't happen here, you've got plenty of "meth heads" in out in rural America. After all, it was this web site that taught me how to identify them.....you see methamphetamine is made in those areas where you have "pure air and water", "heart and home", anhydrous ammonia, red phosphorous, toluene, ether....in other words, if you've got tractors, you've got meth.....here in Gotham City, we just stick with "crack"...it'll kill you, just not as quickly...
