Aspirin? No thanks.

Do you take some kind of medicine every time you cough, sneeze, have a headache, can't sleep, have a sore neck? Do you need medicine to cope with what ails you? I don't like the idea of America's drug companies pushing drugs on people as "a way to treat restless leg syndrome". What the hell is that? I'll tell you what it is. It's made up so some drug manufacturer can make money. As a matter of opinion, I think they messed up some other drug experiment and, when said screwed up chemical was ingested, the lab rats just so happened to stop running around and finally took a rest. So they say, hey let's sell this!

I was stuck in a room full of 40-plus people this weekend. One was sick. I somehow caught the sore throat/cough. And what did I do? Drank orange juice. Gargled with salt water. Didn't let it ruin my day. Didn't succumb to a drug company's quick fix. Kept the money in my pocket and dealt with it, just like billions of people before me have. It's just a sore throat people. But for some reason, people can't seem to understand why I would want to deal with it when there are things to take care of the pain. It's a matter of principle. Get over it and buy some vitamins.
