Rush on the topic of drugs:
Quote:
On drug users:
Kurt Cobain died of a drug-induced suicide, I just -- he was a worthless shred of human debris.
(on the death of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia) Just another dead doper. And a dirt bag.
And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them.
And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.
When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia (former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.
Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too

I see what you're saying, SMcSam, I've known people who have been addicted to drugs as well. However, they were not trying to push a highhanded moral agenda and condemn others while putting on an air of being perfect. Even a closest friend who tried that would stir the same dose of schadenfreude in me. They would hear it from me, too. I have little tolerance for hypocrites.
As for his business in the street.

Sorry, this guy's an asshole. He deserves what he gets.
A Rush gem:

Imagine we identify the gene — assuming that there is one, this is hypothetical — that will tell us prior to birth that a baby is going to be gay…. How many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? Well, you don't know but let's say half of them said, "Oh, no, I don't wanna do that to a kid." [Then the] gay community finds out about this. The gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life faster than anybody you've ever seen. … They'd be so against abortion if it was discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies.
