There are good reasons for us to be discussing Rush as far as his recent notoriety for abusing painkillers, but the comments in support or against his politics has NO PLACE ON THIS BOARD! DB made a statement about this a little while back. This is NOT a board about politics (except with respect to politicians or legislation affecting the availability of meds), and it's NOT a board about religion. Discussion of these topics out of the narrow confines of how they affect our ability to get meds is divisive and adds nothing positive to this board. So PLEASE save your political and religious views for another board. BTW, this is not meant to flame anyone. I just want us to get back to the real problems that we are here trying to solve.
