Reply #10: I was never charged either. [View All]

It may have been because I was stealing the scripts from my dad (doctor) and by the time they came knocking at my door, I was working on getting straight. They were actually very understanding and supportive. They were Feds of some kind. I'm not discounting the possibility that because my dad was a surgeon of some renown, I may have been given special treatment, too -- although no deals were done by any means.

Your reference to her screwing the whistleblower was what I was referring to. That's inexcusable.

That tells me that she isn't really taking responsibility. Like Rush always loves to point out that he became addicted to drugs that were PRESCRIBED for him -- it's THEIR fault, not mine. Once she got clean she should have done whatever it took to restore the whistleblower's job, reputation, whatever. That she didn't leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Thanks for the link -- I'll go check it out.

EDIT -- Wow - what a story. I wonder if it's the same one I read long ago. Once I was straight, I NEVER would have let somebody else take the fall for me. And I wouldn't have stood by and let someone be fired just to shut him up.

Although she and I have SOME similarities, I see we differ vastly on our views of what's right and what's wrong.

Thanks again.
