> I go out of town for a couple of days without my laptop and the ball rolls!!

heh heh. yeah, you can't leave the boards for a couple days. maybe you are discovering your babble addiction / disease lol.

> Secondly, WHEN was the part about "society" added? And WHO did the adding?

I did the adding. I did the adding because somebody posted about native americans and how they seemed to have more of this alchohol disease thing going on than non-native americans. and about how they have a genetic difference that supposedly determines that they have this disease more than non-native american populations.

what interested me was the point that over here maori have more addictions than non-maori. in fact... if you look at a minority group with a history of opression then what do you find? greater prevalence of addiction. and so my thought was... perhaps these people are more prone to inherited defect / disease (though one must be careful here... this is often used as a rationale for eugenics). and perhaps the history of opression (and the point that they have not fully recovered from that) actually has a lot to do with it...

> Thirdly -- what about "choices" -- I sure didn't choose to get polio as a kid!! I did however CHOOSE to use alcohol the drown my sorrows so to speak, and I made that choice EVERY time I took a swollow.....

yeah. and the more sorrows you have... the more likely you are to choose short term high over long term benefits.

at least... that sounds fairly common-sense to me....
