I had a girlfriend once who started the Woman's Refuge in Christchurch, also worked for the Human Rights Commission, a woman of the world you might say, I was with her for 5 years on and off, she left Chch in the late 60's when she was 16 years old after her Mum died and got into the wild scene up in Wellington that came into being during the sex and drugs and rock and roll years, she met lots of friends up there and told me that many of them died from drug taking, almost all in fact.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
