Seattle’s county government recently paid out millions of dollars to hand out free crack pipe kits to addicts. And the crack pipes were emblazoned with an image of Martin Luther King Jr. Would Dr. King have been proud of the association? That checks out, as most addicts don’t experience a great deal of success in their lives. In one sense, addiction is addiction, whether it be to drugs, alcohol, food, submissiveness, or Trump Derangement Syndrome. AdvertisementKing’s likeness on the crack pipes makes no sense, even if the county was named for him.
