SO LITTLE PRIVACY
Hate him all you want, disagree with him all you want. But Rush Limbaugh's
situation points out how little privacy we actually have. I have had it up
to here with privacy statements and the need to sign a paper that I have
received a privacy statement from whomever. Actually, the more privacy
being declared, the less privacy we have.
The seizure of Rush Limbaugh's medical records because of his drug
addiction brought on by extreme pain illustrates how "un-private" our
personal affairs have become. Having had two wives and a very close friend
suffer the pain associated with terminal cancer, I find it difficult to
condemn anyone who resorts to any means to relieve pain.
When "legal" medical procedures do not bring relief, you do what you must.
And to make such a search for relief a felony?
Inhumane.
