I would like to respond to Drew Harmon column’s “Smokers know it’s bad, leave me in peace” (SN 7/18). While I definitely agree with the whole concept that consistency is needed in our social policies (unhealthy food, unsafe sex or drinking), if it affects other people in a public sense, it is our business.

Yes, he makes a factual or historical error almost every time a long, convoluted rant emanates from his mouth into the microphone. However, political discourse is interesting, and even if I have to yell or issue a retort to the inanimate boombox sitting on the shelf, I would rather argue with Rush than listen to inane disc jockeys break the limits of vulgarity in between the three songs their station manages to force alongside the commercials each hour. And now, each time I am involved in a discussion about school vouchers, the first person I think about is always Rush “talent-on-loan-from-God” Limbaugh. Please, help me.
