I swear this sounds like a joke:
quote:
He [George Clooney] told reporters he could not take painkillers because of a family history of addiction - but had found an alternative remedy. "If you drink it doesn't hurt so much," he said. "It's pretty good now."
If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

So... rather than risk becoming addicted to painkillers he chooses to become an alchoholic?

Good job, George!

Do you have a source for this furshur?
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I think he's joking, he's smarter than that. Otherwise, well, Drug War advocates extend accolades for taking the "High Road"... unfortunately, his liver and certain other parts of his body might not share their sentiments (not to mention family and friends.)
