Please tell me whose lives, Rush has ruined, other than his own and Marta's. Did he break into a house with a gun, shoot an old lady, and steal money?

So, Mr. Drug Warrior, are you making the case that peaceful drug users who do not violate the direct rights of others, should be allowed to lawfully ingest drugs?

So you're okay with coke addicts snorting to their heart's content, as long as you're not harmed by it?

This would be quite the reversal of your previous position inre: the dangers of drugs to society, both directly and indirectly.

What about the profits Rush bestowed upon his dealer? He made a drug dealer rich. He also induced (allegedly) his housekeeper to engage in illegal behavior. That's some harm being committed -- sucking in others to support his addiction.

In addition, the now-wealthy drug dealer is an example to kids in his neighborhood, that selling hillbilly heroin makes you rich, and you get to sell it to rich people.

Rush is helping to destroy a nation with his promotion of the illegal drug trade.

And you're sitting here, defending him???!?!??!?!

Ah, the world is upside down.

Not coke. But prescrition meds are okay because they 1. are strictly controlled by the FDA, and 2. are one of the few industries left in this country.

Okay. You're right; this is BS. I no longer know what I think. I'm an addictive personallity myself and I needed to believe Rush was clean.

As the bard said: "This is like another Fall of Man."

Please tell me where on this thread I have condoned Rush's prescription drug abuse?

You'll be looking for a very long time, IMO.

He has admitted that he has a problem and is trying to do something about it, and yet you want to kick him when he's down.

I am not going to kick him while he's down, to make a cheap political point, like you are wont to do, but what the hey you are a pro-drug Libertarian and you have freinds on the left, that is expected.

You are feasting at the red meat of political opportunity, no different than Bill and Hillary would do in the same situation, IMO.
