"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Nearly 7 in 10 Americans Take Prescription Drugs
“Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half take two, Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center researchers say. Antibiotics, antidepressants and painkilling opioids are most commonly prescribed, their study found. Twenty percent of patients are on five or more prescription medications.” That is a hell of a lot of people, a crazy amount of drugs, and insane profits for Big Pharm and the medical industry. And, many people do it to themselves, including those that allow themselves to be led to do it to themselves, then declare themselves to be victims, demanding government do something to protect them from the bad men selling those evil crack cookies, phantom foods in boxes and cans, and fiendish drive-through fare.
