Before I was banned by DB, I was trying to explain this situation and it seems very few understood. The domestic OP's are in decline -- Bush & Ashcroft are obsessed with proving that though they are draft dodgers, they are tough in the war on drugs.

Reality is that recreational drug suppliers have been moving heroin, cocaine and marijuana across the Mexican/US border with only minor hiccoughs for decades. As the FDA/DEA/State agencies close down the domestic OP's, the hybrid OP's -- who have websites outside the US, but who can ship from within the US (e.g. San Ysidro, El Paso or Seattle) are going to take over the grey market Rx med distribution in the US. The US war on drugs is lost (surpised?)-- Globalism is incongruent with national controls on imported products.

The babyboomers will buy their meds from the websites in Canada, Mexico etc. Especially because the Bushies want a radical reform (reduction) of social security and medicare; but like Iraq, they're not very good at thinking through their "religious" impulses. It will impoverish many of the baby-boomers. To sum it up "simply" the revolution of the 60's will happen in the next ten years - fifty years late, but it will be just as ugly.
