I believe the people in this forum who have spoken ill of Rush have never truly experienced the depth of pain that blots out all existence except that agonizing HURTING. With a pain that horrible, a person would do anything to get relief. Some even commit suicide.

In cases like this, the problem lies not with the sufferer, but with the way the government prosecutes doctors for treating their patients with adequate medication.

Reading some of these posts opining how "over the top" they were when they lampooned Rush yesterday, I was reminded of a situation we faced last year with my 6 year old in first grade.

It seems that there was a kid (I'll call him Johnny) who constantly made fun of some of the other kids in class. The kids who were on the receiving end decided to fight fire with fire I guess and started teasing Johnny about his weight. Johnny gets his feelings hurt and tells his momma (who is also a heavy person). She come up to school raising holy heck about her poor baby being mistreated. They question the kids and the story comes out about Johnny starting the whole affair.

His mothers response was classic and it reminds me of rushes most ardent supporters......Johnny was just teasing but these other kids are just plain mean brats.

She saw nothing wrong with her baby huey sized kid bullying and terrorizing the other kids only how mean they were for picking on her kid.

Moral of story...If you can dish it out ya better be able to take it.

Touche - been there a few times in my life - pain ain't fun ...
