"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug
use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are
getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is
not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in
jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who
are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

Looks pretty all-inclusive to me.


He's referring to recreational drug use.


Some people consider Xanax and Valium recreational drugs... especiallly those
who take too many of them.


Agreed. First of all, *any* drug use outside of a legitimate
prescription could reasonably be called "recreational". In fact, one
might resonably argue that a person who deliberatly circumvents legal
constraints on prescription drugs by obtaining thousands of pills from
multiple doctors are just as guilty of "getting away with drug use"
and "trafficking in this stuff".

Of course, since Mr. McKelvy is in favor of legalization of drugs,
he's not being inconsistant in *his* view of the stituation, only his
assesment of Mr. Limbaugh's view of the situation.
