It's payback time!

A vindictive mentality just drags everybody down in the mud shouting and
slugging it out. When a "winner" ultimately emerges, it won't settle which
position is right or superior, just who has the bigger fists. That's fine for
troops of baboons, but not so good for civilized humans.

Yes, Rush's "get tough on drug users" stand is infinitely hypocritical, and
speaks for itself. You want to harm Rush? Dig out those quotes and trot them
out. However, aside from whatever damage this does to Rush's credibility, I
thought the classic liberal position was that this drug addiction is a medical
and rehabilitation problem, rather than a law enforcement one. Do I
misunderstand? Is there any value in jailing someone for becoming addicted to
pain medication, after he sought rehab? Any value at all??? I thought not. No
deterrent value. No rehabilitation value. Huge negative costs.

This whole business of digging into his medical records and violating his
privacy rights disgusts me, and quite frankly, those who are driving this ought
to be ashamed of themselves if they're acting this way out of political motives.

I sickens me to see this kind of mentality amongst supposedly evolved people.
I'm not just saying this. You guys - get a grip and play the game by the rules.
