Topic: Prescription Drugs
I found the following article on cnn.com this AM. The pharmaceutical companies are key players at the dumbing down, numbing down and locking down of the American people.

Save your breath on matrix etc discussion and instead "try" to help them get off the drugs. There are zillions of alternatives that work. The shocking thing about this article is that pharmaceuticals are no longer the domain of the old and infirm.
Here's part of the article. If you are interested the rest is on cnn.com headlines.
