      6. Or digging a bit deeper: Ford must know his behavior is suicidal. He's trapped by family & politics in position he really doesn't want.

      7. So maybe Ford wants to get caught: that's his only hope, only way to break cycle of substance abuse and enabling.

      8. Or to quote analysis of @mj_gold Ford is saying "someone pls stop me before I die"

      9. If we take concept of enabling seriously, it undermines the Schmittian/Straussian friend/enemy distinction as core of life.

      10. Of course, bringing Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss into discussion of Rob Ford might be pushing things.

      11. Still, our so-called friends sometimes destroy us, our so-called enemies are sometimes our only hope.

      12. There is some wisdom in saying Ford is just acting like addict. Still, even addict behavior is governed by hidden motives

      13. What do people think: is addiction sufficient to explain Ford's behavior or is there possibility he's crying for help?

      14. You grow up in family with secrets where admitting weakness is a taboo. Don't know how to reach out. Public buffoonery is a message

      15. We all have things inside of us that we need to articulate. Some of us write, others become public buffoons. (Some do both).

      16. Doug went away for the day and Rob virtually dares us to catch him smoking crack. Think about that.

          @HeerJeet There's a great big hole inside RoFo that money, drugs, booze, influence, celebrity, wife and kids have not been able to fill. 2/4

          @HeerJeet RoFo is Nocturnal Rover type. Inebriated, he seeks crowds/company/action to fill essential loneliness/discnxn at his core. 4/4

          @HeerJeet Excellent analysis. Think this is actually the RoFo story in a nutshell, except, of course, without the nutty electorate enablers.
