$4 lists versus drug companies, FIGHT!!

[lacey]

I have spoken before here, albeit a long time ago, about how I don't like the practices of drug companies, and find them generally no better than insurance companies. Today, I'm going to discuss a realization I just had, and one thing that I do like about Wal-Mart

I did visit, and I just added you! Welcome to the madhouse :)

I think we may discover later, like with cell phones, that there are inherent dangers in more every day things than we might think possible. :)

That right there is a very insightful thing to say. I think you're right. Cell phones don't so much concern me, but pretty much everything else does.

And, you know, I'm fairly young. My childhood wasn't all that long ago, but I think I grew up a lot differently than the children growing up now, and I know I was given better quality food.

I don't know if it's lack of education, laziness, lack of caring or what, and even though I'm not a fan of children I know raising them is anything but easy, but you've got it right on the nose about additives and dyes and the like.

People don't seem to care enough for themselves, let alone others, it is the 'instant gratification expectation and dependency on that, I feel is the culprit as people are conditioned by advertising and imagery and it is everywhere. Market over people, a sad state. I hope things change, but it will take a kind of masse epiphany, I only hope I live to see it!

I agree. Couldn't have said it better.
