And neither does criminal records being public.
The point is, Ray, you have admitted that ADD / ADHD are not real conditions - you know conditions where people need to be on drugs. You have admitted that, sir.
What you cannot see is that whether you do or do not, the public should NOT have access to your records because they cannot properly evaluate them.
In order to end this argument, I'll offer you an idea. If you want to hire someone, rent to them, etc. then since you trust the government so much why not submit the application along with the reason and let them just say they recommend that you hire them, rent to them, or you don't.
Because government doesn't make my decisions for me. I make my own decisions, and I make those decisions based on the information I have. One landlord might want to rent to an ex-con. I don't. I've had experience doing that and I base my future decisions on past experiences.
It's obvious that the government don't make your decisions for you. Rush Limbaugh does that. But, you clearly WISH that the government would be your personal Santa Claus.
Asking that government not hide information from me that could cause me harm either physically or financially is not Santa Clause. It's asking government to do it's job by protecting us from enemies foreign and domestic.
In 2005, a news article reported this:
"WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm..."
Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
You are FACTUALLY wrong again.
Another article quoted the above, but the United States Supreme Court is still ruling all the time on this question. A more recent article states this:
"However, did you know that the government, and specifically law enforcement, does not have any duty to protect the general public? Based on the headline and this information, you might assume this is a new, landmark decision. However, it has long been the court’s stance that, essentially, the American people are responsible for taking case of their own personal safety."

The government has NO duty to you as an individual when your personal safety is the issue.
And the government has no right to restrict information from me that may lead to physical harm or property damage. Public record should remain just that--public.
In spite of the devil whispering in your ear, I'm in favor of protecting law abiding citizens. You are for protection of the criminal element.
