I'll bet you perceive these words as quite irritating, since they give no hope to those who want to use Rush to promote their agenda to his vast listening audience:
"You can boil it down to one real simple essence: I can't be responsible for anybody's happiness but my own, and if I allow somebody else the power to determine my happiness, then...well...that's something I don't want to do. I can't do [it] any longer. I put myself first. Doesn't mean be rudely selfish. It just means I can't depend on other people to make me happy. I have to do that myself. I'm the only one who has control over that."
Hahahaha
Sir -- and I mean this in the most inoffensive way possible -- but you have anger issues.
Don't look to the darkest possible motive in every person. Not all of us will be able to measure up to the bar of "raw evil" you set for us.
