Get back to me when you have evidence of Rush breaking into a house and pointing a gun at a person to get money to service his habit and then we can talk.

That's the argument I've been using as an anti-WOD supporter. No harm, no crime. Maybe I'm just getting forgetful in my old age, but Dane, aren't you one always concerned about the 'societal impact' of drugs? The 'culture' created by drug usage?

Think about the other customers Rush's dealer had. Do you think they were all millionaires with talkshows? Rush was supporting the Drug Culture, and even supporting terrorism, if we're to believe the promotional government material.

Rush himself may have been 'above the fray' compared to your usual drug user, but he was using all of its machinery, enriching drug dealer's wallets. Rush hasn't decreased the amount of damage in society -- in fact, following WOD logic, Rush is certainly contributing to it.

How did his dealer get the Oxycontin? Legally? Or is it possible that his dealer used illegal means ot acquire Rush's drugs?

There was plenty of illegal behavior going on in order to get Rush his narcotics.

Worth repeating.

Uh but there was harm. Rush luckily didn't physically harm anyone.

But what the hey, you are a Libertarian and you live on your own island and every action you do never affects anyone else.
