You are a True Blue Liberal and I am a Social Conservative (with some libertarian leanings). That said, you are doing a terrific job on this story.

I represent long term health providers (nursing homes) who are under constant scrutiny about pain relief. They have to rely on doctors for orders. The doctors are afraid of the DEA. I have heard these doctors talk about this at end of life trainings. It’s a ridiculous catch 22.

The reason I reveal to you that I am a Social Conservative (who admires your writing) is because I am opposed to euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. I want people’s pain effectively treated so that they can live out the rest of their natural lives to the fullest. So they can reconcile with family, or come to terms with things. Therefore, I want their pain effectively controlled so that they can get on with LIFE.

Thank you for your work on this issue.

Stuff like this reinforces my disrespect for the mindless souls of the United States of America.

Stop bombing other countries for terrorism when you can’t even control the swayed monster of Democracy that is committing just as terrifying atrocities at home.

[...] In a completely off-topic (for this blog) story, I ask this question: Why aren’t more people talking about Richar Paey? [...]

Thank you John Tierney for keeping this up. We will eventually win because the DEA’s policies affect more and more people everyday. As long as we can keep this issue in the news more and more people will see what’s going on. I got involved because my wife has Rheumtoid Arthritis and the only doctor that gave her any decent pain treatment ended up in prison. Thank you DEA.

He was charged with seeing too many patients and writing too many prescriptions. Of course he saw lot’s of patients. Most of the other doctors in the state are too scared of the DEA to give proper care to pain patients.

“Vote them out? Good luck! Vote Libertarian? What a joke!”

Translation: “Get back in line b!tches! “Bahhhhhhhahahhhh, bahhhhh…yes sir…bahhhhhh” There is a fabricated war going on here between Democrats and Republicans, both of us FIGHTING OVER WHO GETS TO CONTROL YOUR LIVES. Nobody, nobody comes in this circle, do you hear me?”

I’ve got some words for you right wing nutcase, “FVCK YOU!” You’re basically saying we should be happy with 2 choices for our FVKIN POLITICAL SYSTEM? Shove it up your a$$. We’re coming for you punk. Next time you’re bangin your woman in the poopshoot, and calling her a dirty Democrat, I’m gonna rush into your room and knock you over your big fat elephant head with a 2ft replica of Lady Liberty. That is all, have a nice day.

Vote them out? Good luck! Vote Libertarian? What a joke! The politicians are not going to do squat about this particular gravy train until people start pulling the plugs on their life-support systems, if u get my drift. Evil has descended across this land like nightfall, and it’s a long time ’til the dawn.

Why do you continue on your freedom crusade? It will get you nowhere but make you and your readers feel like you’re actually accomplishing something. There are only 2 powerful political parties and WE BOTH are PRO-DRUG WAR. There will be no discussion of Mr. Paey, nor any dissent on the war on drugs. We will continue to marginalize you, throw stones, and do whatever the hell else it takes, to keep the sheep in their place. “Bahhhhh, bahhhhh, I won’t vote Libertarian or 3rd party, because it’s like….wasting my vote or something….bahhhhhh, bahhhhhaha”. We have you all controlled, and you will vote for us, AND LIKE IT! Stop your whining sheep, fall in line and get back in the herd.

Long live the 2 party system!! Where no significant progress or open debate is ever made! Long live democracy! Of 2 lone voices that is. Long live the F’in king!

Wake the F UP and vote the bastards out already! Vote Libertarian, make it the party we want it to be, and let’s get some action and support thrown behind the plights of the people in these articles.

When will we admit that the war on drugs is a complete failure/sham? The amount of money wasted and misery inflicted on innocent people caught up in this are a travesty

JUST DOING HIS JOB

John Tierney is my HERO for speaking out on this travesty of justice.

I nursed my husband through a very large ruptured disc of the lumbar spine and I saw fear in our doctor’s eyes when we discussed the severe pain. Surgery ended the SEVERE PAIN but the three months getting to that point was a nightmare.

Andringa the prosecutor plays the numbers game for that free drug seizure money. Ever wonder where that money goes? Just a few perks that taxpayers are not aware of!!
