Hi Mike,
Please don’t call me names or try and guess my personality. Thanks. It’s not that I can’t handle name-calling or anything; I just think it’s rude. I was hoping you could do me a favor. Could you post the letter that you typed to Mr. William Clinton in Washington D.C? I’ve read your posts several times. I believe I have finally understood your point. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I am going to write my Congressman too. I’d like to see a copy of your letter though first as a guideline.
If I’ve read your posts correctly your letter might go something like this:
Dear Mr. Clinton:
My name is Mike. I suffer from chronic pain. It doesn’t matter what type of chronic pain I suffer from. What does matter, is that I suffer from chronic pain just like the pain millions of other Americans suffer from. I don’t like to wait in doctor’s offices for two hours to receive a prescription for medicines that do not relieve my chronic pain. I have come to realize that life is short. Therefore, I have decided to spend as much time as possible not working and instead I like to laugh my ass off. I don’t want to take medicines that Pharmaceutical Companies grow and cultivate and create and give to doctors to give to patients with chronic pain. I would like to grow and cultivate and create my own medicines. I would like you and the members of Congress to please change the legislation to allow me to grow my own medicines. I believe I know enough about chronic pain to “doctor” myself. Please change the laws so I can self-medicate me and continue laughing my ass off.
Sincerely,
Mike
