This moron mom [link] wants to take oxycontin off the market because her son allegedly got addicted to it and died. Don't blame the kid with the addictive issues, don't blame the doctors who weren't paying attention, and certainly don't blame the mom who sat and watched it happened! Blame the drug that helps millions!
Hubby lost Vioxx and the others in that class that really helped. This woman is not taking away one of the few other drugs that works. I have letters in the works.
Oh! Can I get them to get rid of a few of the video games that are responsible for my kids not doing their homework? That would be a whole lot easier than me actually parenting. Say goodbye to WoW everyone.
And for shortsighted idea of the day - the Broward county sheriff wants to cut out the following programs to save money in the prison system, perhaps to get repeat customers. On the chopping block, substance abuse treatment, anger management help, computer skills and other skills training, etc. [link] They figure to save 2.2 million, the cost as they say, priceless.
How much do they spend on cable tv? Why don't they cut that out? PBS Forevah!!! (although too much Lawrence Welk might drive me to homicide, admittedly)
huh, so if you are addicted to something, you can overdose on it? Wow. Well ya, then it totally should be banned. Sure. Can't be anybodies fault for not recognizing addict behavior. I mean, surely he didn't burn thru prescriptions at high rates or something, right? The one thing I didn't hear were figures to just how many deaths, she just said "lots" or something to that degree. What percentage of patients prescribed to patient death is there? Are the cause due to the drug or user error? I feel her pain, but please!
OK, avoided going to work enough. Off I goooooo.
Surgery often ends in death, we better stop doing that too.
She's in pain over losing her kid, but she's still a tool.
Surgery often ends in death, we better stop doing that too.
I hear there are buildings people get brought to that cause a high death rate too. Lets get all hospitals closed down!

100% of all people who eat and breathe wind up DEAD! Eating and breathing must be stopped!

But then not breathing can cause brain damage, which can result in people writing inane letters to the editor....
Asprin is a "gateway" drug.
I love my boss! There was a 10am meeting for an event happening June 2nd. Originally I was supposed to go, the only person in Production. Why only the sound guy? I dunno. Boss said it makes more sense for him to go and represent all of production. Sweet, since I usually show up 10:30, I didn't want to have to get to work earlier, right? It's 11:35, and they just let out for a quick pee break. Ubber boss walked by with a piece of cake, and I said, at least they had cake, he says "ya, but we had to sing 'Happy Birthday'... TWICE". SooOoo glad I didn't have to go to that meeting. I got two others today. That's enough meetings.
