I am personally totally against unnecessary and overuse of painkillers, however I am also totally against the government telling doctors, who know their patients best, who should or shouldn't receive certain medications, including pain killers.

Oh, fine! Go ahead and be realistic, Innovative! See if I care! In full seriousness: control of the citizenry is to the feral government as heroin is to drug addicts.

I'm sorry, one and all, for my sloppy formatting immediately above! Here's what I meant to write:

” control of the citizenry is to the feral government as heroin is to drug addicts.”

Unfortunately, very true. And what is worse, is that the people accept it, because it is so gradual. Where do you draw the line?

It always reminds me of the story about the frog.

If you throw a frog into boiling water, it immediately jumps out. If you put it into cold water and very slowly turn up the heat, so the temperature difference at each step is very small, it just sits there, until it’s cooked.

We are all just like that frog in the slowly warming water...
