COMING CLEAN ON HIS ADDICTION

I have seen too many lives destroyed by this country's drug policies
to feel much compassion for Rush Limbaugh ("Rush's World of Pain,"
Oct. 20). Either Limbaugh should go to prison like the rest of the
people he advocated sending "up the river" or they should all have the
opportunity to go to treatment programs. Let's pray that this drug war
ends soon so that Limbaugh and other drug addicts will get the help
they need. Prison shouldn't be the answer, but until that changes, I
say send Rush off to jail. Doesn't he deserve a dose of the justice he
has advocated for others for so many years?
