No wonder we live in an unchallenged corporacracy police state with a corrupt government and giant banks get loans from the public to save their lying thieving asses ....
The american people are a bunch of god-damned idiots and morons.
"Fat" being "accepted" in the media ......... just as polluted water, food, air and global warming have apparently been accepted ........ because no one is willing to experience the emotional pain and inconvenience of changing their lifestyles ...... the american people are nothing but addicts in denyal .....
Addicts don't walk away from their drugs because they don't want to experience the emotional pain of doing so ....... and so they go into denyal about reality (ie Michael Jackson being a recent public case).
"Fat" being "accepted" just means people have accepted the "reality" of their denyal ...... that they're not going to change ......... that they're not going to stay away from the junk food, the fast food .....
So "accept us as we are" ....... the only one who really cares here is the people trying to find a way to make a buck off people who are in denyal ....
Never has the world seen anything like america where so many people are addicted to so many things ....
The fed is the problem itself ........ Congress created this evil secretive society and they can dissolve it.
The US govt (and theoretically thus its citizens) should be printing its own currency and backing it with something of value.
We don't need some middleman who is charging us to loan us our own money ......... some invisible agent behind the curtain whose machinations are unseen and whose loyalties are unknown ...
The fed hasn't been audited forever (where are those motherfucking IRS bastards who like to audit blue collar workers so often when you need them).
Who the hell knows who these people are and who they really work for ..... and if you think international businessmen are not involved, you haven't yet learned the govt is your enemy.
Let's just let some private entity or foreign power take over management of our CIA ...... no difference.
I love the way the american pharmaceutical companies warned of the drugs coming from Canada when they were getting supplies from companies in China.
I am a pharmacist and as I look around me I see drugs from Lebanon, India, eastern europe, etc. ....... and if you think the FDA is checking the quality of these things ....... forget it ..... they're too busy ramming thru drugs with shoddy and false research that reach the market only to kill folks (as they are now dependent on the drug companies' fees for their budget) .....I've never seen so many drug recalls in my life as the last decade ...... and vaccines ???? ...... you can forget them ....
Over 60% of the drugs I dispense now are mind-numbing psychotropics ...... from narcotics, to muscle relaxants, to anti-depressives, to benzodiazepines to sleep aids etc ...... why are the american people such a miserable and unhappy lot ???? What are they trying to escape from ?????
The drug companies, with the govts approval, are turning the population into a drug dazed bunch of zombies who can hardly find their way home ........ let alone function as informed citizens.
The docs are creating more addicts than the Columbian drug lords ...... what's wrong with this picture ????
So many people are taking so many drugs that our reservoirs, our rivers and even inland waters are contaminated with prescription drugs.
A few words to describe the actors in this drama of total moral decay :
The public ...... stupid, willfully ignorant sheep
The drug companies ....... evil lying thieving murderers
The Congressmen ...... whores and traitors.
You know ...... those people who used to own this land ...
Are there any of them left ?????
Created with petroleum products as petroleum is killing us and creating wars ....
I'm an Okie from Muskogie and we wear manly footwear like boots made out of leather.
The difference is obvious ...... the bureacrat is salaried and thus has no incentive/bias to deny or give you coverage ...... therefore, their decision can be based on facts, research and outcome studies ....
An insurance clerk is merely following the policies/orders of management who is only interested in profits ...... its a business.
If you had cancer and your only possible option was a bone-marrow transplant, who would you want making the decision ...... a bureacrat actually interested in facts or an insurance company clerk whose boss was looking to purchase his 6th sports car for the year.
Best One Yet
Will hold on to life at any cost and hospitals make too much money in the last few weeks of a person's life to give it up ....
Don't expect things to change anytime soon ....
There are more people driving on the roads impaired from prescription drugs than from alcohol.
And docs are putting more addictive drugs on the street now than Columbian drug lords.
Daylight head-on collisions on two-lane roads are a red flag.
I believe there should be laws enacted which require that all drivers involved in any serious accident be required to allow blood to be drawn on the scene for a toxicology screen ......
emt's could perform this service.
Drug companies are evil and yes evil is the proper word ..... they are thieves and murderers .....
Obama was elected with a mandate for change ...... this is simply business as usual
