So now you're wanting to declare people who were born in Kansas City as
"illegals?"

Methinks you've fallen off the edge, Bert.

Not that this is news.

I knew plenty of junkies and under the right conditions, they can
function quite well. Rush Limbaugh was addicted to opiates for years
and no one knew about it. Of course, he had enough money to buy as
much Oxy as he needed.

I had a close friend who was a heroin addict and he was a very
successful salesman for a heavy equipment manufacturer. The guy made
tons of money and never had to worry about scoring drugs. During the
day he'd take enough smack to keep from getting sick and at night, if
he wanted, he would get wasted. The next morning, he was in better
shape than a lot of alcoholics are.

Of course not. However, if heroin was legal they could.

You really don't know what you're talking about.
