I think we have evolved into a society of sissies who cannot take pain of any kind. All we hear is how people need all this crap to end their pain. Hey, life is a pain. Everybody has pain. We're supposed to. Our ancestors had pain and they built a large and fabulous country without Demerol or Oxycontin. They worked and played with pain.

This Rush Limbaugh situation should be a clarion call to all you junkies who can't face a morning without some little white pills. Here's a concept -live without a crutch - stop whining.

Mr. Limbaugh, I had a back injury and it hurt, too. I kept going and stayed active. I didn't have surgery and I didn't take pills. My back still hurts sometimes but I have a physically demanding job and I do my job every day. Toughen up. Flush the painkillers, for God's sake!

And, IMHO, they wrote and ratified a pretty respectable Constitution.
