Bumbler really needs to lookup the definition of the word "toady".

It's amazing the number of little tyrants that come out and like to tell people what they can put in their body. Patches wants to price out what he/she thinks others shouldn't put into their body, and box says he wants them to pay for their own medical costs for illnesses caused by what they put in their body.
I want to join the tyrants. I don't want to pay for soldiers suffering with PTSD. They chose their occupation. The Army should put a disclaimer on recruiting papers that states that taxpayers are not responsible for mental illnesses that are likely to develop as a result of their exposure to war conditions.

And yet another morning where Cicero puts WAR on his toast for breakfast.
Patoooie!

Nice way to dodge what he said, typical of those who want to pick and choose who and what is covered when it comes to bad decisions.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."

So the Henry/Cicero Tag Team is back in business once again. Cissy answers for Henry... Henry answers for Cic.
If Cicero had posted anything interesting or new or original, I might have responded. He didn't... I didn't.

Oh, I do know a thing or two about opiates, Buck. I don't know why you would assume that I don't. For instance, heroin was 'invented' as an improvement over opium. No matter what science and medicine comes up with in the field of pain relief, someone will want to abuse it. I personally don't use or abuse any drug on a regular basis, have never, I repeat, never, used an illegal drug, I can count on one hand the number of adult beverages I consume in a year, I don't even drink coffee. Does that make me better than somebody else? It doesn't make me naive, either. I have seen the drug issue up close and personal. My point of my post - where is the logic, or even the lawfulness, in making an old lady pinky swear that she will not misuse her medication before she can receive it? The hospital is approving the drugs, the same hospital where she had the surgery, so somebody there knows damn well that she is who she says she is and has the medical condition required for said Rx. So what is with some paper pusher lay person demanding a signature on a piece of paper? I know, if it saves one life, it's worth it - how does a piece of paper save a life? Now to rp and the pharmacy nazi. rp, I know another woman who gets the attitude from a clerk at that store when she went in for her prescription. Everybody wants to be a narc, evidently, these days, and gain a little bit of power and authority over his fellow citizen. That's the way it was in East Germany, the government was better than everybody else so everybody wanted to be part of the government. If the little martinet would rather be a cop thana clerk, he could take the plunge and go for it. Maybe he has, we don't know, but he didn't make the grade. That would explain his attitude. Cops have to have a degree and go through training, and their jobs entail some unpleasantness. So the wanna-be's will remain wanna-be's.
There is a clerk in one of the local Walmart's who thinks she's a State agent of some kind because she issues hunting and fishing licenses. She drivesthe serious outdoorsmen nuts with her zeal to prevent anyone from committing some sort of fraud that she imagines can happen when renewing a fishing license. They spread the word, so those in the know go elsewhere.
I know of an instance recently where a girl working in a Stewart's gave a tourist a hard time about purchasing a scratch-off. Yes, a scratch-off. You see, a non-NYS driver's license won't "scan". She didn't want to sell a grown man a two dollar ticket. What if he was a seventeen year old boy disguised as a foreign tourist in his thirties? Good thing she was on the job.
So, it is okay for the pharmaceutical companies to manufacture and sell these medicines, but when we get down to the level of the individual consumer the harassment, surveillance and refusal to treat kicks in. Where is the logic in that? Ambien, btw, was invented as an alternative to the addictive and dangerous narcotic sleep aids. People like Matthew Perry, Kerry Kennedy, etc. will still be careless with their Rx's and they will still be able to have all they want, whether they become illegal or not. Michael Jackson can off himself using anaesthetic to sleep, and his family can blame others for his death in court, but we will nag and harrass and shame the little people, the legitimate, law abiding consumers.
State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has introduced a program bill in the State Legislature that would exponentially enhance the effectiveness of New York’s existing PMP to increase detection of prescription fraud and drug diversion. A.8320 (Cusick)/S.5720 (Lanza) would enact the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing (I-STOP) Act, to establish an on-line, real-time, controlled substance reporting system that requires prescribers and pharmacists to search for and report certain data at the time a controlled substance prescription is issued, and at the time such substance is dispensed. The legislation would: • require the Department of Health to establish and maintain an on-line, real-time controlled substance reporting system to track the prescription and dispensing of controlled substances; • require practitioners to review a patient's controlled substance prescription history on the system prior to prescribing; • require practitioners or their agents to report a prescription for such controlled substances to the system at the time of issuance; • require pharmacists to review the system to confirm the person presenting such a prescription possesses a legitimate prescription prior to dispensing such substance; • require pharmacists or their agents to report dispensation of such prescriptions at the time the drug is dispensed. I-STOP will vastly enhance the effectiveness of the present system. Its goal is to enable doctors and pharmacists to provide prescription pain medications, and other controlled substances, to patients who truly need them. At the same time, it will arm them with the necessary data to detect potentially dangerous drug interactions, identify patterns of abuse by patients, doctors and pharmacists, help those who suffer from crippling addictions and prevent potential addiction before it starts.
