Drugs, drugs, drugs... it seems everybody was/is on drugs. It's not that I judge people who did/do drugs, but hey, why do so many people allude to the fact ( ? ) that this or that person did/does drugs ?

My favourite artist, M.C. Escher, did a mountain of drugs, as can be seen in his works - he made no bones about it ! However, when I try to instill appreciation for his works in someone who has never seen his works, I do not show them the self portrait first ( the one with the pipe and bowl prominently displayed larger than life )...I show them the intensely mathematical works of art for which he is famous. True works of art and provoking of mind and perception. When you taint the perception of any arguement/discussion with "facts" which are not persuant, you detract from your analytical rigour and lose credibility....no, I'm good....put it out.
