Unfortunate news...

drugs, drugs, drugs

How is this happenning to us?

How are the drug companies able to wield so much influence?

While the cholesterol drugs are worrysome, what's really troubling me is how much the children are getting medicated now.

How am I sounding crazy saying all of this?

Worst of all, how is it legal to air ads on tv for prescription drugs? Over the counter, I can understand, but these are drugs that you need a doctor to prescribe.

You see these commercials, but you can't just walk up to a pharmacy and ask for a bottle of the stuff. No. You have to see a doctor and get him to fill a prescription. The doctor could see either the medication as unnecessary, or could even recommend a different medication that would do something similar, but the commercial has the idea planted in your head that this one is the one you have to take, and yet you can't full comprehend what it's going to do, all of the side effects, I doubt even all of the doctors and lab technicians could fully explain either.

So why is this happenning damnit?!
