Becasue the liberals passed the HIPPA (Hralth Insurance Portability and

privacy under this act and is prosecutable...hey...the libs wrote
it...talk to them...kid should have been in an institution...libs got
rid of those too so the mentally ill could mainstream with the rest of

Ah, the liberals. Ok, so then what you're really saying is that the
Federal law is toothless.


What I'm saying is that laws clash with each other and take away the
teeth of each other...they bite themselves in the butt...an attorney
friend of mine, about as liberal as they come, worked on the HIPPA laws
when in development and is a lobbyist for the health care industry...she
is proud of the HIPPA Act, but does not understand the ramifications of
what it does in the workplace. Privacy laws on health care were already
in place..didn't need more...it's overkill and detrimental...and you
want to make gun laws (over the top of other gun laws) that in effect,
are the same...
