Michael Jackson being "enabled"


Question Posted Sunday June 28 2009, 5:37 pm

When they are saying "enabling him" are they saying giving him a way to be operational through the drugs? Because the defination of enabling is to make operational or to make active and things along those lines...but they are saying it in a more negative context so it seems to me that they are saying maknig opperational or active, dependant of the drugs. Is this about right? or is there another definition I am unaware of? Thank you

Well, it depends on the context used.
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume the context is probably using the first definition.

en·a·ble (-nbl)
tr.v. en·a·bled, en·a·bling, en·a·bles
1.
a. To supply with the means, knowledge, or opportunity; make able:
a hole in the fence that enabled us to watch; techniques that enable surgeons to open and repair the heart.

b. To make feasible or possible:
funds that will enable construction of new schools.

2. To give legal power, capacity, or sanction to:
a law enabling the new federal agency.

3. To make operational; activate:
enabled the computer's modem; enable a nuclear warhead.
