You're right about one's constitution and receptivity for certain behaviors. Then also, there is the roll of internal abuse within the family, such as an individual who is close and has opportunity. The statistics are fairly grim about that. I worked on a number of prison stories. During the interviews, I can't seem to recall of any individual who wasn't abused, or gave the writer a "what the heck, I did it because it felt good" explanation. S.

I once read an interesting article on cocaine where the author reported having tried it with no effect other than a stuffy nose that lasted two or three days. He contrasted that with a woman who reported a burst of joy that flooded her whole being. She knew right then that she would use cocaine until she died. It would seem that people's different biochemical make-ups produce varying reactions to different drugs, ranging from the sublime to the mundane. Hardly surprising news really. I am not saying the girl was or wasn't abused, neglected or otherwise, just that it could have started with one, "oh what-the- hell," unlucky choice on her part. As for Bob, the only thing you can say for sure was that he was thinking with his Dick while playing with fire. His published work would seem to indicate that this has been a life long practice.
