We protect children from violence on TV, yet we allow our kids to be brainwashed with non-stop drug commercials and lawyer ads. Bow before the sanctified domain of the Food and Drug Administration, beyond which there is no knowledge (Only a drug can cure or prevent).

It is clear that the FDA wants to get all vitamins and herbs classified as drugs to, (a) put the them under the control of the giant pharmaceutical companies, (b) increase current prices 100 times, (c) require a prescription which requires a doctors visit and office charge, and (d) make every human dependent on “their” drug.

When children hear lawyers proclaim, “When doctors make mistakes, I make them pay,” what message does that send? Then a child sees dad beat up his sports coach: “When my coach makes mistakes, my dad makes them pay.”

We have rejected God from our political buildings, our schools and our businesses and wonder what has happened in society. Mahatma Ghandhi once said, “Things that will destroy us are politics without principle, pleasure without conscience, wealth without work, business without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, and knowledge without character.”

God have mercy on the United States.
