Nice to see O'Bama working on getting rid of midnight Bush rules

[kandrathe]

And kandrathe, don't even get me started on the abuse of Ritalin in minors, and the greedy doctors that prescribe it too them.

Did I get you started?

Get off your high horse for a second to smell the flowers your trampling, or do you choose to ignore this post also?

You mean the post where you went off on the Viagra binge and claimed medicine is all about money, and then some ramble about your itchy dog? I feel like I should ignore them, because I don't really understand what point you are trying to make. It would be easy to show that for many doctors it is not about the money. Your last post was a long ramble of life experiences, and questioning the definition of words. Exactly what flowers am I trampling upon? What does "improve the quality of life" mean to you? For example, does "Art" improve the quality of your life? Does clean air and water improve the quality of your life? Do safe neighborhoods improve the quality of your life? Words have meanings, yes. I define medicine as the science which relates to the prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease. Physician and doctor in my dictionary still mean "one skilled in the healing arts".

I scoff at your remark of medicine being used only to heal. Get over yourself.

I didn't define "what medicine is...", I gave two vastly different definitions by doctors in contrast to Angel's definition. I have no high horses. I train them.
