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...

For a liberal, passing a new law invokes a warm and fuzzy feeling, whether
the law is effective or not.
For a libertarian, passing a law that 1) won't affect anything or 2) won't
be enforced, is meaningless and not worth the time or trouble.

It's all about feelings with liberals. It's all about reality with
libertarians.
