I know you've had a really bad experience recently, but some of us couldn't function day to day without medications invented by big pharma... it's not a simple thing.
I agree with you that it's great that so many treatments exist without which many would be in a lot of pain or dead, but imho, the companies themselves are still mostly evil. It's not about an evil product, but rather evil corporate practice. (For another example of good product/bad company, see baby formula.)
I'm certainly grateful for allopathic medicine, but I still hate the healthcare system in the US with a passion.
And the picture made me LOL. Perfect caption and userpic, too. :)
I agree completely, actually. This is going to sound really weird, but when I got these comments in my inbox just now, I couldn't remember having written the post they were responding to. I had a migraine this morning and had just taken Relpax so I guess that's where the sentiment came from, but... I actually wrote that comment?? I must've been really out of it... FWIW, I apologize, plumtreeblossom -- the sign is funny :)
