Sorry, I have to say that if some drunk, smacked up bloke started mouthing off at me on the tube about how taking heroin is 'cool' I wouldn't be too impressed either. I get drunk, sometimes. I don't think it is 'cool', sometimes it is fun but I accept that if I do it to extremes or too often I will damage myself and maybe others. It is not a political statement to get drunk and idolise Kurt Cobain. It would have been a political statement 10 years ago; it would be like me idolising and emulating the Sex Pistols, when their scene is now very over. (sorry for talking like 1970s throwback but can't think of any other way to put it, am tired). Furthermore, people who tell other RANDOM people that they DON'T EVEN KNOW that they want to die of an overdose run several risks. They risk being a) talked out of it by concerned person; b) told to do it by unconcerned person; c) cried at by person whose mum/son/best mate did just the same thing or d) beaten to a pulp by one of the people who inevitably have to patch up the mess left after the attempt.
