Think about it, in order to cure alcoholism all the world's alcoholics need is to sit down with you for five minutes while you explain the folly of their ways so they will for ever after refrain from drinking alcohol. If, they are poor pupils and do not do their homework but drink again, you can righteously point out how morally deficient they are.
I wonder why all the moralizers in all of history did not think of that and cure alcoholism centuries ago for once and all?
As I said, being a drunken Bum is a choice, not an affliction, once you understand alcoholism and this bum does. He’s been in treatment, HEUNDERSTANDS THE DISEASE AND CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING. Save your pity for those who don’t undersatnd it. There are millions of them. Many millions have been cured by programs and this bum knows all about them and dimisses them. He’s chosen to be a poor poor pitiful bum. You have chosen to be the reason bums like this keep going down the path; your warm fuzzy pity feeds them like mother’s milk. You are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
