What an amazing speech, and good for him. In a lot of ways he's right about Spears, she is 25 she has two kids, she's been in the media spotlight for near a decade, and her mother dosen't seem to be someone that she can lean on to act as a parent.

It got to me when Ferguson said she's a baby, not a babe, but a baby.

Its funny but I'm sure that a lot of you can look back on parts of your life where maybe drinking was becoming a problem, or you were bordering on it becoming more then recreation.

I remember when I left the military which is basically the worlds cheapest and most encouraged drinking establishment. Got a job at a major electronic retailer and was transfered to thier new store in Regina. I was working 16 hour days, and spending another 4 or 5 hours each night in a bar because I was still young, and alone, and bored and stressed out, and was making way too much money too easily. Eventually it got to the point where I couldn't sleep without having several shots before bed. I can't tell you how many bar fights that I got into, and how many times I woke up in the morning smelling like liquor and having a fresh shiner.

I may talk about going to the bar, and I do now and again, but I'm terrified for the most part of booze, so I either change to water after one beer, or if I really feel like getting hammered, I go home.

So I do have a certain sympathy for people like Spears and Smith and other celebrities who's lives spiral out of control, because I think human nature allows that spiral to happen pretty easily, and I think that a small part of our brain really counteracts our survival instinct and wants to experience death first hand because of curiosity, and wants to do things that are inherantly bad for us. We all have that small area, and at some point we'll give it that momentary victory or moment, and its something that we tend to pay for in spades.

Anyways and wow, this is the rambling of someone who's up way too late.

But a great video.
