While some have taken exception to your recent article "I have a habit of having things in my hand", it actually made the recommended reading list for my household. When my teenage daughters ask me about the glamour and dangers of drug use, I try be clear and concise about it. For some time I've put a particular spotlight on meth and crack, as two drugs that have a severe de-humanizing effect on those who use them. Your article, while gory and unpleasant, illustrated well how things can go very wrong, and how these drugs effect the lives of those who use them. Even to the point of a group of people murdering and hacking up an 'inconvenient' member of their household. 'Stories for Kids' indeed, perhaps not a fairy tale, but sometimes the un-varnished truth can be harsh.— August 19, 2010 8:58 a.m.
