i think that is a kind of loneliness i just would not want to painfully experience. also a little mistrustful of how our culture values others in society. i think maybe there are some other cultures that maybe have a more holistic approach to aging and incorporating the intergenerational range that i don't see a great deal of in america. if we were going to do that more so, then i would be all for it. even if it were going to be an egalitarian approach. but otherwise, personally, i would not want to do it. i have lived a nice, full life. if others wanted to and we could support the messe nation and welcome people into having meaning in their lives at that , still being able to contribute in positive, creative ways in society -- i think that would be wonderful. masci.avid thet: let me bring up question of meaning. in addition to the poll that we did, we also did a sort of very unscientific survey of religious leaders, thinkers, ethicists, and ask them about a bunch of different -- asked them about a bunch of this rent -- bunch of different aspects of this issue in the

what i got for coming up higher with god was loneliness and rejection, but it put me in a place where i got to know god really well 'cause i didn't have anybody else. a lot of abraham's family, if you study history, were idol worshippers and what god wanted to do with him, he couldn't do unless he got him out of there. "go to a place that i will show you," so he went. "[prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of god even though he was a stranger] in a strange country." verse 10, "for he was [waiting expectantly and confidently]." he was waiting what? with faith. he was waiting with faith. "i'm so sick and tired of waiting on god. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. when, god, when? why is nothing happening to me?" but if we wait with faith and wait confidently, we can say, "i don't care what i see or feel. i believe that god is working. i believe that god is working." sarah, verse 11, who'd already had the change of life and was wrinkled everywhere you could be wrinkled, says that, "she received physical power by faith to gi

politically and diplomatically this really deepens president obama's loneliness on this issue.t the u.n. inspectors who come back from syria tomorrow. and then presumably the obama administration is going to have to make a fresher and stronger and more detailed case because the lesson from the uk parliament is the highing governments, trust us, we've seen the evidence. doesn't work in the post-iraq era. i think that's really -- that's really what best explains yesterday's vote in london. and i think is the challenge facing obama. he needs to present a water-tight, very credible case. and that hasn't yet been made. >> ed, the politics here perhaps haven't been the best. i mean, certainly, but there's also the other issue of what has happened to people in syria. you know, 100,000 deaths. there's still -- or is there still an argument for moral intervention here to kind of separate the two issues with regard to the latter, what should the international community do? >> oh, i think there's a very strong case for moral intervention. having a dictator gas people in his own backyard,

you can have financial resources and you can still feel that pit of loneliness and emptiness and thatve a different face to the disease. >> we have twitter questions and a few of them are pretty thought provoking. one is from joe. what's one thing you lost due to your addiction that you wish you could have back. >> the biggest thing i lost, i actually have regained which is my self-esteem and my self-worth which were shattered when i got sober a year and a half ago. i felt like i was the scum of the earth and now i have slowly rebuilt that self-esteem through the last year and a half. >> and arianna, from the mother's perspective, did you have any suspicion at all, that's probably the tip of the iceberg. >> yes, well, 5 million young people, teenagers, people in their 20s who need treatment and only 10% of them get treatment. so for me this is also a moment to restart a whole conversation about the drug war that we're basically waging against our own children. 725,000 people are arrested every year for drug violations. and yet so few of them get treatment. that's really, for me, what
