Journal Elwood P Dowd's Journal: crutches for your idiot brain 3

Journal by Elwood P Dowd on Wednesday January 11, 2006 @07:36PM

Calling an addictive substance (or anything you don't like) a "crutch" is idiotic.

Crutches are good. I've never heard of anyone using a crutch when they didn't need it. You know: to move without injuring themselves.

This is up there with "age is just a number" for sheer dumbness.

Using a crutch when it isn't needed can make you dependent on said crutch and unable to function without it.

  Have you ever known anyone to use a crutch when it is not needed?
  
  Ever?
  
  Because I haven't.

    I've heard of the crutch being taken away before the person wanted it to in order to promote strength, but that may be apocryphal.

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get to work.
