I think society is heading downhill. We are in the "pill culture" right now where nobody will take responsibility for their own actions or actually put the effort into understanding the CAUSE of the problem but would rather take a pill to treat the symptoms. It's the easy way out, nobody's willing to invest any effort or work for results. We need the pill diet rather than merely eating less food, cutting out cheesecakes and fast food and putting a little bit of frikkin exercise in our lives.
I'm not fat, I'm genetically challenged with a natural propensity to eat excessive numbers of Big Macs. I can't lose weight because it's my genetics, it really has nothing to do with my 6 hours a day of watching TV and eating cheesy poofs and my total lack of exercise.
I didn't choose to smoke, I was forced into it by the cigarette companies. I should sue.
My child would rather play outside than do his homework, he must have ADD or ADHD, could I please have some Ritalin?
I have a runny nose, please give me antibiotics.
blah blah blah......BAH!
It makes me sick. I'd like to see people stand up and take responsibility for their own actions and suck it up like people with dignity rather than shifting the blame to someone else and/or trying to get rich in the process through a lawyer. I'd like to see people look at the long-term effects and the cause of the problem before making decisions just to treat the near term problem. Our government has fallen victim to such "planning" where they will simply build with 1 year in mind rather than actually looking at the long term effects.
I'll spare you all the rest of my rant.
