I don't mind discussion - it's supposed to be thought provoking. Definitely not a be-all end-all point of view.

I guess one could call it tempered escapism. We're not true escapists that can't deal with reality at all, but still, those moments of unreality are escapist moments...and the fact that a lot of us have histories with alcohol and drugs isn't too much of a coincidence.

It's pretty obvious that I love my passion for Disneyland as much as you and any of the rest of us.
