Ooooooh, *%#*, Earth calling Lori King! Are you really thinking that
any number of people on this list have seen Bono when they knew for
sure he was drunk or high and they were around him long enough to
see him in that condition often enough to think he was addicted?
Your getting a little out of touch with reality if you think that's
true.

What?
It has?
Maybe the reality that has been extremely visible to you for
at least 10 years is not the what's been visible to the rest of the
world (hehehe). You really are fantasizing.

You don't get out much, do you.

>Bono is a person in trouble - how do we respond?

It's nice that your so worried about Bono, for whatever reason.
Maybe the resopnse is you should make a doctor's appointment
for yourself.
