Interrogatories

At this writing, I am listening to people on TV talking about various kinds of addiction, which leads to these serious questions.

Have you known many drug addicts? Have you lost friends or loved ones to drugs?

How about alcohol?

Smoking?

I’ve lost loved ones to all three, I’ll bet most of you have as well.
