Now, many of you are getting a real good taste of what happened to the drug-law reformers in the 1970's.

What are the results?

Well, someone very close to me was found waving automobiles off the road last year, as a result of trying to follow his "doctor"'s instructions for using prescription drugs. No abouse involved. Just following instructions. The drug companies are charging more and more money for substances that could be helpful to people, were they sold at prices that people could afford.

Does the above paragraph seem like a paradox or contradiction to you? If so, you should consider educating yourself about the history of this, and the politics.

It is no surprise to me at all that PJ is being smeared in this manner; expect her to be Public Enemy #1 some day (at least, in the ****-sucking press.

Honest reporting, on any subject, is not popular enough in these times. I know, from long, bitter experience.

What I'm hoping is that some of our younger readers, who have more time left than I do, can do something to change this, and make the changes stick. Freedom of the press does not equal freedom to lie, nor does it equal freedom to break promises.
