I enjoy this show. Of course I'm not trying to compare it to other shows (yes, the UK version is fantastic... but let's include reality-tinted glasses when it comes to UK vs US shows.) I think the part that I enjoy the most is the idea, the setting. After losing the Woman, Sherlock Holmes loses control, hits bottom, forced out of his mind-numbing distractions of choice with rehab, and eventually moves to another country because he can't bare to be in the same country as his memories. Perhaps I see it as a man trying to recover from the soul-crushing experience of the only woman that he found worthy to love... and found so unexpectedly... perhaps I'm just a romantic... sigh.

I do not dismiss or hide from the show's faults, but all you gentlemen and gentlewoman can stay on your high horse while I shall enjoy both of the Sherlock stories, each as their own style.

Goodbye pension, hello rehab!

Won't it be fun to watch this family self destruct from the money and fame, and continue to show up on other "reality shows" in the future like "House Full Of Yesterdays Celebutards" and "Rehab For Talentless Freaks We Used To Gawk At".

Heh. The Google ads that pop up at the end are for drug rehab and male enhancements

First time--after months of painful rehab and practice.

Damned shame. The people around her should be ashamed, if not criminally charged. Welcome to the 27 Club Amy. R.I.P.

In retrospect, No was probably the wrong answer.

Does that make this EIA?

Before dismissing me as an insensitive jerk, how many Syrians were shot and killed while protesting for democracy since her death, and with no fanfare.

I find it pretty amusing that There is a wikipedia page dedicated to people dying during an arbitrarily decided year.

I'm sure you can find famous singers/song writers who died at other ages as well.

Why? Because when the government does nothing these people shouldn't care about their neighbor?They shouldn't try to practice what they believe and care for people like Jesus did?>> ^NaMeCaF:
I think the scariest thing about this whole story is the fundamentalist christian groups running the rehabs.



Oh no, don't get me wrong. If they sincerely were just helping them recover from their addiction then more power to them. What I have a problem with is the fact that they don't just do that, they brainwash the addicts and fill their heads with fundamentalist christian crap and breed more of these nutcases who go on to do the same thing, and like a big snowball effect, their numbers grow and then you end up with another America.

I think GFK is right that this is an issue of feelings. The feelings in question may have their roots in a religious upbringing, but that's really no worse a place to get them than from parents or classmates or mass media. If you feel like killing a fetus is wrong, then you're welcome to that opinion.

One question is: how much support does an opinion need in order to justify the government depriving a woman of the freedom to control her own reproduction. I doubt there is a "right" answer to this one. We don't require 100% consent for government intervention. For instance, only 99.9% of us think murder is wrong, but we still put murderers in prison. Certainly the requirement is higher than the 40-50% range I've seen on abortion polls.

Another, perhaps more interesting, question is: should people's emotional reactions to issues be a guide to government policy? I claim that they should not. Citizens often get emotional about a particular law, without questioning what the actual effect of that law is. Unfortunately we have politicians who are willing to pander to these desires. Instead of asking whether a law is popular, we should ask whether it produces the actual outcome that people claim to desire.

If you want fewer killed fetuses...
Don't: ban abortions.
Do: mandate sex ed and free condoms.

Don't like teenagers making risky decisions and having sex? Too bad. No government in the world has figured out how to solve that one.

If you want less crime...
Don't: execute criminals.
Do: invest in education, hire more police, spend more on prisoner rehab.

What's that? Killing criminals makes you feel better? Well you'd better poll the public on killing innocent people, because the death penalty does that too.

Finally, let's not leave our dear liberal president out of this.

If you want more prosperous and educated citizens...
Don't: underwrite college loans to students in for-profits and drop out factories
Do: invest in community colleges and technical schools
