Replying to a message of Rich Gauszka to All:

 RG> From: "Rich Gauszka" 

 RG> While I am no fan of Rush Limbaugh I found this part of his addiction
 RG> speech well done. (Hopefully he means it)

 RG> "I am not making any excuses. You know, over the years athletes and
 RG> celebrities have emerged from treatment centers to great fanfare and
 RG> praise for conquering great demons. They are said to be great role
 RG> models and examples for others. Well, I am no role model. I refuse to
 RG> let anyone think I am doing something great here, when there are
 RG> people you never hear about, who face long odds and never resort to
 RG> such escapes. They are the role models. I am no victim and do not
 RG> portray myself as such. I take full responsibility for my problem.

(a) the man, who has long supported the 'War on Drugs' is now a proven hypocrite.
and
(b) the 'Drug Warriors' aren't going to touch him because he is who he is
and he's filthy rich.  Were he merely Joe Schmuck who was addicted to
'controlled substances' they'd put him in the federal slammer for a long
time.  One law for the likes of him and another for the rest of us.
