Unfortunately Josepps prejudice is not supported by science.

The fact is that people ARE born addicts.

At least, in so far as their dopamine levels and the stability of their dopamine production is concerned.

Links between dopamine levels and addiction are pretty well established.

Addiction is an illness, just like schizophrenia is an illness, or cancer, or hepatitis.

Amy winehouse lived a miserable existence but brought us some moments of great beauty and soulful depth.

She wasn't famous because of her looks, nor because of her drive or sense of self entitlement.

It was her music and her voice and the heart with which she sang that made us want to know who she was.

Thanks Amy - RIP
