A question for those of you out there who are so adamant about pushing this illogical war on drugs. So, you like to see drug pushers in jail, right? And those people who buy drugs from those pushers? You want them in jail too, right? Yeah, **** right! Lock them all up!
Most of the people who adopt this “take no prisoners” attitude on drugs are conservative. Most, not all. Read the law. If Rush Limbaugh was doing those things that the National Enquirer says he was doing, then he could conceivably face quite a lengthy jail term. Is that what you want? Are you grumbling to yourself that Rush ought to be getting his treatment in a hospital jail ward somewhere?
What’s the deal here? You’re celebrating (as you should) Rush’s decision to seek treatment. If this is such a good option for Rush (and it is) then why isn’t it a good option for some sap from the inner city who succumbs to neighborhood peer pressure and gets hooked on drugs?
