He was all “so what? Smoking rules” until he got the word that his lung cancer really was incurable and going to kill him, and it finally sunk in that there were going to be consequences in his life he couldn’t buy or bully his way out of. And even then, he decided to remain an asshole until the end.

And Rush has lost his 70 year battle with social progress.

I am similarly reminded of a different quote.  When Kenneth Lay, evil overlord of Enron, died, Henry Rollins quipped:  “Good.  Stay dead, motherfucker.”

He was dogshit, spoke dogshit, and made money off dogshit people. He repeatedly made fun of everyone not fat, white, and him.

In times like these I am always reminded of the famous Bette Davis quote on the passing of Joan Crawford:

I’ll also add that once you find a guy who fits your first bullet point don’t be afraid to lead and teach during sex to get what you want.

It’s not shitting on you or people like you to admit that there’s a huge potential for abuse in treating children like property without rights, and to consider whether there are better options - like a formal commitment process - that would allow residential treatment programs to help very troubled children.

I appreciate the fact that this experience helped you. However, when people say something “saved their life” I’m always a bit dubious.
