Hey Great1, ever been in a doctors office at lunch? ever wonder why they get so many large catered lunch parties? the office ain’t paying for it, it’s the drug reps. schmoozing our doctors into prescribing their brands at one end of the chain, you think those same reps aren’t schmoozing the FDA at the other end at the same time? just to pass off bad man made stuff as medicine for quick $$millions in revenue from all the poor patients who uneducatedly think that the medical system really is out to help them…
drug reps, I think they sould be called legal pushers, or Pill Lobbyists.
Ever wonder why pharmaceuticals are so expensive here in the US, when the same drugs are way cheaper in mexico? When you buy a prescription here in the US, you buy expensive uptown catered lunches for, Doctors, nurses, med. assistants, the drug rep who spends his companys money for those lunches, plus all those neat little ink pens and office toys with medical logos, (mostly made in china) HMM…...

I looked around as you suggested but didn’t see any kickbacks or bribes. Just wondering where you saw them.

shakes, hypersomnia, followed by insomnia, constant sweating, and muscle spasms, I’m just glad the bad stuff went away when I quit taking the so called medicine.
A few years later, guess what, RECALLS, LAWSUITS,
I can’t get in on a thing with those in the class action, cuz my doc said since I was poor he would charge the visit and gave me a sample box, off the record, no prescription, no patient history.

Great1, 
psycho, things like running around shouttin at strangers passing by with loud noises and growls, flingin sticks and pebbles into the air and beating my chest like an ape, in a PUBLIC LIBRARY, maybe finding where some anti freedom politicians live and constantly follow them around and tell them thanx you for ruining america repeatedly while picking boogers and flinging them at the politicians general direction, um I don’t know maybe get to know people around town who support the loss of freedom, and BUG THEM ENDLESSLY SO THEY NEVER SLEEP OR POOP OR ANYTHING In PEACE again, other zany ideas are are sure abound in my crazy mind.
  as for proof of the FDA, DRUG REP, DOCTOR circle, welljust look at the drug Vioxx. A supposed arthritis pain med, and an Anti depressant, cuases all kinds of nerve and neurol damage, I took the s#*t cuz My doc told me it would help my aching bones, he gave me a sample BOX FULL, no prescription. for 2 months I was seriously messed up, ....

sharky. Do you have any proof of the allegations you are making against the government? And what do you mean about going pyscho?

If I wanna smoke a flavored cigarette, then by god I’m gonna. FUNCK YOU FDA!! IF I wanna smear grease on my face and run around my house naked smoking a cherry cigar while dancing around singing barbara striesand tunes in a pool of creamed corn, and all the while in the privacy of my home and without disturbing anyone elses peace I should be able to.
If I wanna eat nothing but vegetable oil and lard mixed with sugar and some coloring, poured on a pile fat trimmings off of a possum steak, and seasoned with deer droppings, I should be able to do so freely, without any trouble from anyone as long as I’m doing so in a responsible way.
Graphic as the preceeding was, what’s the harm to you, whoever you are, whereever you are, it’s not in your house so what big deal?I don’t swim in your toilet, don’t pee in my pool. Mr. President, and FDA, If You Don’t take my menthols,maybe I won’t go psycho and start creating havoc everywhere I go.Without freedom, I have nothing to live for, PERIOD!!

Hmm, the FDA wants to infringe on freedom, and control and ultimately ban all these things that have been with humans for a great long time (alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, etc…), yet they want to allow their good buddys working at all the prescription drug manufacturing companys (who give them all kinds of kickbacks, such as expensive dinners, tickets to large events, sports, concerts,$$$, etc..), to continue making and selling pharmaceuticals that are doing much more harm to the user who is using under the guidance of doctors who get perks from the sales reps of these drug makers, that charge too much for drugs that are getting more recalls than ever before. Why do so many people not understand that it isn’t about whether or not the use of any consumer products are good or bad for you, it’s about FREEDOM TO DO AS YOU WISH AS LONG AS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOURSELF FROM IMPEEDING ON OTHERS RIGHTS TO DO THE SAME?
