Heather Mills is an Idiot

Before she agreed to become Paul McCartney's wife, Heather Mills gave the Sir an ultimatum: stop smoking weed or there'll be no marriage. That's lame, but it's between them. But then she said this:
"50 per cent of people can smoke joints their entire life and be fine. But the other 50 per cent, if there's a history of depression in their family or in their genes, then they cannot smoke marijuana." [Emphasis added.]
What a moron. What could she possibly have meant with this 50/50 crap about "...a history of depression... in their genes"? Don't famous people realize that ignorant off-the-cuff comments like this one make me (and others, I assume) much less likely to buy into their causes -- in this case, Mills's anti-land-mine line? (Nevermind that someone who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident became an anti-mine campaigner. It would have made equal sense to me if she campaigned against the internal-combustion engine.)

Anyway, you'll find more equally dunderheaded Mills comments -- like that she's never tried drugs, which I suppose would have to include never having had any pain medication, including after she lost her leg -- here.
