Whiteley Sr. LIMBAUGH I am not a Rush Limbaugh fan, but I hope he overcomes his addiction to painkillers. When he comes back to radio, I hope his addiction experience will have made him more compassionate and empathetic. When rock singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994, I remember Rush saying Cobain was "a worthless shred of human debris." Rush said he had no sympathy for someone who commits suicide. Depression is the leading cause of suicide, and countless numbers of people from all walks of life suffer from its mental anguish. I cannot imagine a person who has been severely depressed ever saying he/she has no sympathy for someone who committed suicide. America looks forward to seeing how Limbaugh's addiction experience changes his life. Paul L. Whiteley Sr. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
