In fact, as you will read about below, there are70 million Americans that are taking “mind-altering drugs” right now.

#1 An astounding 70 million Americans are taking legal mind-altering drugs right now.

Just think about all the statistics the article states. Then, next time you are driving down the freeway, look around you. When you have an operation, think about the doctors/nurses, your next taxi ride, the pilots flying your plane.

Scary ain't it?

Why I fly myself. No TSA to molest me, not being treated like cattle, not being a slave to the airlines hub-and-spoke system. Not having to get some elbow room from the 300 pound behemoth that oozes into my seat. And not worrying about the fool up front being stoned.

This is why advertising is a multi-million dollar business. Get people's attention, make them uncomfortable, and get them to spend their money. (have you seen the pharmaceutical commercials?)

Wait - I didn't think you smoked.
Or maybe just not when you're flying...

Bread and circuses. The bread is in the bottles and the circuses are in your head as a result. The country is going to hell in a handbasket but since we're all stoned who cares? And Obamacare will make sure the drugs keep flowing. :thumb
