I find it sad

that the trade names of drugs enter the cultural vernacular so easily. I really think that's representative of some of the problems we have today, that we're so saturated with advertising convincing us that A. we're unhealthy and B. we need drugs to be healthy. Just the idea that abstract, nebulous concepts such as happiness and health are based on THINGS makes my skin crawl.

Without annual inoculations of X, Y and Z, be it drugs, media or expensive technology, not only can we never be happy, we're starting off a vicious cycle resulting ultimately from our inability to buy. In being unable to afford shiny baubles, not only do we lament their lack, we're contributing to our fellow man's unhappiness. It's total crap.
