[Let's Roll]

And I am SHOCKED at the people on FR who refuse to consider how Rush became hooked.

Once an addict is hooked, they all do what they have to, to get what they need. IMO those who became hooked through no fault of their own deserve our sympathy and support. Actually, not to muddy the issue too much, but anyone who sincerely tries to kick the habit deserves our support no matter how they got started.

You can call it Clintonesque if you wish, but many of us remember what it was like to smoke 3 packs a day or have family/friends who are alcoholics - never mind serious drug problems.

Let us not forget that this was not some cripple who needed these drugs to get from his bed to his bathroom. This guy was playing golf two, three, if not more times a week!

Lets not paint him as some poor soul who could not function due to his pain and needed these drugs in order to tackle life's necessities.

Come on people! Rush said himself, don't make him a victim!
