My post was (in my mind, anyway) more about Foxman than Gibson.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to boycott Mel Gibson's movies, and I'll continue to watch them at home on DVD--I just watched Braveheart again Saturday.<BR/><BR/>My family history has alcoholism in it, but it stopped before it got to my parents, so I really can't speak first-hand about the effects it has on people. But I've been around with my eyes open long enough (plus that Psych degree and a dad who was a substance-abuse-rehab counselor) to know that the word, "ravages" is the right one to use with "alcoholism."<BR/><BR/>It does hurt to see that this man, who has tried so hard to stand for right and decency and the other things that good people value, has fallen so hard so publicly. My heart breaks for him.<BR/><BR/>And I get angry at people like Foxman, who seem to take delight in kicking Mel Gibson after his self-inflicted fall.SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-1154391580568129772006-07-31T17:19:00.000-07:002006-07-31T17:19:00.000-07:00I was listening to Morning in America and someone ...I was listening to Morning in America and someone mentioned the Mel Gibson arrest and Bill Bennett said something like, "Ah, and this is so painful."<BR/><BR/>Bennett counts Gibson as a friend and stressed the apology that he made.<BR/><BR/>Anyway that's how I feel. After the making of "The Passion" I count Mel Gibson as a friend and it really hurts to see him stumble.Malotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908995141115792851noreply@blogger.com
