the standards are there at the FDA sometimes we think -they are being enforced yet they are only slightly -because we the people who actually have standards and to some degree of imperfection -do wish to have
a keeper / an authority tell us if these medicines are good/ or bad, thus far
the "THEY" have done a pretty bad job -in this land of opportunist - our free country in theory - for the most part, it has been an oligarchy -

so if someones heart explodes, or they kill themselves because the "safe drug"
causes them to lose hope and I know this has happened -
as example mirapex?

such a freakin horrid drug? so some female PD patient goes out and gambles all and no one knows -that the dear Lady - has no money, so she sits in her car on the railroad tracks at night, waiting for the train to to do her in -
and so it happens, the FDA knew this could happen -you can bet on it!
and the state builds the casino's w/ the bells = reward system -
pavlov's fact and she in her car in fact gets killed by the train...

who does she sue first? in fact no one - if she had family, there will not be
much to bury -and the lawyers have a system, try to get a lawyers lisence
pulled only happens when their firms do not wish to take a fall,
so we have a corrupt/ system...

the only thing we can do - and that would be like fiona said -go back
to the old healers or stay status qou -
and yet we still have a choice - as long as we in the USA do not start enforcing childhood vaccinations for parents and belief systems to be over ruled ...or draft soldiers to fight wars that are conscientious objector...

we can not be free that way... we can not submit to a corrupt system
because we are living in an Orwellian society -now and many are asleep/
lulled to sleep by being on drugs -when drugs were not needed,
- and propaganda rules the minds of the over medicated or the over zealot war patriots
- this is the New Order that the Hitlers/and Stalins and our president and his father have been pushing for... it is the Roman era again -one world government -
history repeats -doing the same thing over and over expecting a different
result -
Einstein deemed this as the definition of insanity...

I therefore do not like forced anything -

so that leaves us once again with the ultimate
and ongoing battle between -good and evil -
so we must choose who we are going to serve?
this is my best guess - hypothesis of what I have seen ...

quoting Napoleon who said, “What is history, but a fable agreed upon.”

"Chronological snobbery," [is] the uncritical accpetance of the intellectual climate common to our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that account discredited. You must find why it went out of date. Was it ever refuted (and if so by whom, where, and how conclusively) or did it merely die away as fashions do? If the latter, this tells us nothing about its truth or falsehood. From seeing this, one passes to the realization that our own age is also "a period," and certainly has, like all periods, its own characteristic illusions. They are likeliest to lurk in those widespread assumtions which are so ingrained in the age that no one dares to attack or feels it necessary to defend them.
