Although it can't come as any great surprise that drug companies would risk human life in the name of profits, it nevertheless makes them scum of the earth, and is just plain evil.

Yea, they sell us that shit, along with everything else that's probably killing us slowly, but we can't smoke a joint. Nice.

Nothing will happen to these scumbags, and they killed people. Yet Max Hardcore is sitting in prison for making porno with consenting adults.

That's why I don't take any over the counter or prescription drugs at all, not even advil or tylenol. I don't trust those companies one bit. Ever seen drug commercials on TV? 80% of the air time is taken up by them explaining the risks and side-effects. Then 6 months later you see a lawyer's commercial where he says that the specific drug has been linked to heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, etc... Scary.

Better to take as little as possible. But for Tylenol and Advil, I'm not so cautious. If I have a headache, I deal with it.
