The Ridiculous Reality of Our Time

This is one ugly article in the WaPo and if you have a hint of common sense it will make you both angry and sad.
First came Kathy Strait, 55, who withdrew six pills from a miniature backpack and swallowed them. Then emerged her daughter, Franny Tidwell, 32, who rummaged through 29 bottles of medication atop the refrigerator and brought down her own: oxcarbazepine for bipolar disorder, fluoxetine for depression, an opiate for pain. She next reached for two green bottles of Tenex, a medication for hyperactivity, filled two glasses with water and said, ‘Come here, boys.’
Sweet Jesus.
There’s a picture a bit down the page, along with one right on the top. You’ll notice something up front — the adults in the pictures are horribly fat.
Not a little overweight — obese.
Then you read on with the reality of their “finances.”
