BIG DIFFERENCE
To Versel Rush:
Your article was not "fair" to anyone. It was a biased attack on a
conservative celebrity who, admittedly, is addicted to painkillers, but has
yet to be proven guilty of a crime. It wasn't "fair" to racial minorities,
state-run drug programs or public defenders, implying that they are weaker
somehow and less competent in dealing with society's problems than their
wealthy counterparts. It was an argument in black and white to further a
leftist point of view, the very thing you accuse Rush of. Addiction may
know no color, but there is a huge difference between someone who uses
drugs to ease physical pain, and someone using cocaine or meth to get high.
