As for Glenn Beck and the others, it's pure, unadulterated homophobia. They would NOT be reacting this way had Heath not been in BBM. Funny, they didn't treat Rush like this... and he WAS an addict buying drugs on the black market!

Before I forget, let me tell you I am thrilled to see you as a part of our community, Verona. You've already blasted past the 100 message mark!
Beck is too crazy to be dwelling on homophobia. He's an also-ran to the usual conservative commentators, late to the game and usually just ripping others off. He thinks he's funny, but the universal truth about a lot of humor from these people is that it's never funny and it's usually about death. John Gibson definitely was going after Heath for his BBM role, but 50 years from now people will still remember Heath Ledger and nobody will remember John Gibson.
As far as the pill popping Rush, he didn't buy the drugs himself, he forced his maid to take a cigar box stuffed with cash to some seedy West Palm Beach street corner to do the deal for him. I have nothing bad to say about Rush for falling into the trap of prescription drug addiction - it happens to a lot of people. I fault him for his rank hypocracy on demanding the condemnation and jail of everyone excluding himself and his ideological soulmates who end up caught in these kinds of "moral scandals."

Um, thanks for pointing that out... LOL But seriously, thanks for the welcome. I'm thrilled to be here!
That was my problem with Rush too. Always pontificating that drug addicts should go to prison, but when it's him or his buddies... suddenly it's a different story.
Glenn Beck is just sick. He's no Michael Savage, but he's sick.

My regular doctor had no idea, and I never gave it a second thought. Don't people get that? At that exact time, you would have found Vicodin, Effexor, antibiotics and my anti-seizure drugs in my medicine cabinet, prescribed by four different doctors, none of whom knew the other had prescribed the drugs. And there was absolutely nothing sinister going on... one was from my dentist, one from my oral surgeon, one from a neurologist, and one from my regular doctor. Happens all the time. Who knows how that would have looked if I'd died?

I think that's what's good about the Dutch system. Here, the GP/family doctor is the ONLY doctor who can prescribe medicines. So if a neurologist says that I should take codeine, I take that advice to my GP and ask him if I can take this (taking in mind the other medicines I am taking). We also never get more than 30 and no refills.
