(laughing) Go ahead. Tell me that Rush was in favor of ending the WOD. Tell me that Rush doesn't want crack addicts locked up. Tell me that Rush wants crystal meth addicts to be free to do their thing. This should be good...

okay.

From Rush 1998:

"What is missing in the drug fight," he said, "is legalization. If we want to go after drugs with the same fervor and intensity with which we go after cigarettes, let's legalize drugs. Legalize the manufacture of drugs. License the Cali cartel. Make them taxpayers and then sue them. Sue them left and right and then get control of the price and generate tax revenue from it. Raise the price sky high and fund all sorts of other wonderful social programs."

Pardon me, but that sounds like a sarcastic Rush rant. Food for thought, but nothing else.

So you're of the opinion that Rush was in favor of ending the WOD? He wanted to release crack addicts from prison? He wants to allow heroin to be sold legally?

Maybe I'm wrong, but methinks Rush was giving a typical food-for-thought sarcastic rant. Ending the WOD has never been on Rush's radar screen, AFAIK.

Being against the WOD myself, I think I would be aware if Rush were truly against the WOD.

Granted, I don't think of him as a WOD spokesman, but he IS a law-and-order guy. Buying heroin off the street, even in pill form, is decidedly illegal.
