SYSTEM UNBALANCED ON DRUG ADDICTION

Rush Limbaugh is not a criminal. Addiction is a medical problem, not a
criminal problem. Some addictive products are illegal, some aren't.
Some people go to jail for using illegal products; some don't.
Limbaugh is where he should be, in a medical treatment center.

The two-tier criminal system - longer sentences, mandatory minimums
and no parole for the poor, and the Betty Ford Center for the rich -
is a mockery of justice.

Pass a "Limbaugh Law" that makes punishment for addiction a visit to a
drug treatment center.
