Deciding What To Do In A Life Or Death situation, And Who's An Ass, And Who isn't

IN ANOTHER POST I suggested that I might be willing to become a meth user, and to share sexually transmitted diseases in order to be with the woman I love. Maybe that was a bit hasty. Love, after all, and especially "in love" is a particular and peculiar form of insanity. Stay away from it, the wise ones say. But, what do you do if someone you know and love is seriously addicted to meth addiction, and keeping it a big secret, or trying to, but not doing a good enough job of secret keeping, or at least not good enough to fool me, and, all the while obviously declining in weight, mental state, and thus health, and, obviously, headed to either prison or the mortuary unless - unless somebody, anybody, does something? I don't seem to see anyone doing something, or anything, amazingly, here in the land of self absorbed preoccupation and token concern for the well being of others, the United States of Apathy. My current plan is to make her an offer she can't refuse, Vito Corleone style. To wit: either she and I enter drug rehab together, me for coffee, she for meth, or I call the judge and ask him to order a drug test for her as part of her forthcoming formal sentencing on cultivating marijuana with intent to deliver charges, reduced in an apparent plea bargain to mere possession of a dangerous and controlled and despised by the red neck right substance. Sound good? Yes? No? A mutual friend called me an "ass" for even considering that option, but, how am I an ass? For trying to save someone's life? Rather, I think the mutual friend is an "ass" for telling me that it won't do any good, and that therefore I'm an ass to even try. I have, after all, the perfectly God given American right to seek contact with any judge I choose, right? So what if it does no good? So I've wasted a dime on a phone call. What is there about making an ineffectual phone call that renders one an ass? Or, what is it about suggesting to a judge that the legal system step in to save a life, that renders one as ass? Not a damned thing, that's what!
