OK, I'm not intelligent enough to turn this into a political debate, but I can Best if kept off the board sure count. If 1 out of 5 Americans has abused prescription drugs, that means;

1 in 5 President Elects, Senators, and Governors(Politicians)
1 in 5 Law Enforcement Officer (State, Federal, and Local)
1 in 5 Priests, Clergymen, and Nuns
1 in 5 Pre-School/Kindergarden Teachers (Educators)
1 in 5 Grandmothers/Grandfathers
1 in 5 Of our US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan

Just about everyone we look up to and respect (politicians excluded) has abused perscription drugs. Have they been labeled drug seekers? Or do pharm. techs look at them like the anti-Christ when they go to Walgreens to fill a perscription after a dental appointment? I don't think so. So, for the Feds to make that statement makes me wonder if perscription drugs should be thought of moreso as the rule, versus the exception. If all these people we know and love are abusing perscription drugs, why do they make such a big deal about being able to buy them without looking a doctor in the eyes and lining his pockets. Either the Feds don't know how to count or they have an agenda. Sorry this was so long, but that article Pi$$ed me off and I needed to vent.

Thanks guys (and girls).
