Chuck Norris says it all

I woke up this morning to an episode of Walker Texas Ranger called "Lucas", a show I haven't seen since I was in elementary school. The episode is about a young boy named Lucas, who was locked in a room by his mom's boyfriend as the couple fled the house when they heard the police would be coming soon. They find the boy in a cluttered room with pots of food that have been infested with bugs and rats along with multiple syringes and drug paraphernalia. After being in the hospital and taking a few tests, they discover that Lucas has AIDS. Rather than allow Lucas to be taken into foster care, since his mother is obviously incapable of taking care of him, Walker takes him into his custody and chooses to raise him the best he can. Towards the end of the episode, the boyfriend finds the boy staying with Walker and tries to get an access pass from him for a savings or something of the sort. Sure enough, as Chuck Norris does, he comes out of his bedroom and beats the boyfriend to a pulp. Like the title says, "Chuck Norris says it all." By the end of the episode, Lucas' T-cell count becomes very low to the point where he gets extremely ill, and passes away.
The biggest gender issue that I noticed had to do with the mother and her addiction to drugs. Lately, I have noticed that a lot of television shows and movies depict males to be the drunks and drug abusers. Pineapple Express, although one of the most ridiculous and funniest movies I have ever seen, goes along with the belief that only males abuse drugs. From personal experiences, I can assure that there is no way to define someone who abuses drugs or alcohol. Young, old, rich, poor, short, and tall; they are all different. Just because someone is born looking a certain way does not define their future. This episode was out of the ordinary because the woman was the drug abuser revealing to the audience that not everyone has to be stereotyped.
