I had too much turkey last night

I agree with you on this, Pete. It's like they're trying to drum-up business. And there's not even any secrecy about things such as "kickbacks": it's well-known that drug companies subsidise medical schools heavily and, by extension, ensure that the role of drugs in treatment, prevention, etc. is emphasised in the curriculum. There are lots of doctors out there that flat-out don't subscribe to any treatment that doesn't, in some way, involve drugs, and, of course, we have a public that's heavily into prescription medicines, sometimes to the point of addiction. In my opinion, this tacit "sanctioning" by medical professionals of such drug use plays some part in society's fascination with, and acceptance of, recreational drugs. Wayne

"Recreational Drugs"......I believe the acceptance of recreational pharmaceuticals, has been around for as long as the drugs themselves.
My choice... is usually single malt scotch.

Drugs cure symptoms, and usually not the cause. Hence, the drug pushing MD.
Drugs cure symptoms, and usually not the cause. Hence, the drug pushing Psychotherapeutic doctors.

As long as they feel good, they feel cured, and "we" have done our job, and they will return for more.
Why don't the "doctors" try explaining that to cancer!
Last word from me on this, I've ranted enough, and I can't fix the worlds problems, I can only learn to live around them..........so the "mute" button gets pushed for all commercials!
