Mean people suck. -- anonandon
But nice people swallow. ;-)
They just don't swallow everything they read on Salon.com or in the letters to the editor. If anyone is dumb enough to deliberately not follow the directions on the side of the bottle, they get what they deserve. If anyone has documented behaviors after taking a presciption drug properly, they should also have the common sense to immediately stop taking the medication and report their experiences to the doctor who prescribed it. Unless, of course, they get a better offer for their story from Salon.com.
Truth hurts, deal with it. When you find yourself bitching about tone, it's usually a safe bet you're just setting up a straw man rather than deal with the truth...because that would mean having to accept reponsibility for your own behavior, and we all know what a drag that is, don't we?
