I read a short word bite in the people section of the local newspaer. So no, I have not read the entire story. However Rush only owned up after he was caught. And the reason I am tired of seeing famous people abusing drugs is that it gives the media a chance to point and say 'aren't these drugs plain dangerous and should be banned'.

It makes it harder for people like me that has not had a pain free day without medication in years to find a doctor that will help provide me with what is needed to function.

As for my political beleifs, I have done all the letter writng , marched in a demonstration for better working conditions, had letters published in a well known newspaper ( I think I have had about 20 actually published on various subjects so either I'm a fair writer or it was a slow day for letters to the editor), voted, called vaious representatives to try to correct injustices and guess what? Nothing I did changed a thing. Our political system is a joke. If it was legit, then Al Gore would be president and a lot of our troubles would never have been created.
