The American Medicine

I've used drugs.  For recreation, and for the purpose intended.  My body can't really tell the difference.  However, I would like to relate a 'social commentary.'  America, USA is SICK.  Ill from pain and misery.  How do I know?  Just a hunch really.  You see a close loved one of mine suffers from chronic pain due to a lower lumbar fusion (metal in the spine.)  Recently, three different doctors (an emergency room doctor, an internist, and a pain management doctor) collectively, and without testing, altered and put my beloved on high dosages of pain medication, and sent us on our way.  the internist had the compunction to actually change the dosage of her psychotropic medication without having a RECENT evaluation done or even an old one to reference.  Not only that, the pain management doctor actually prescribed a medication THAT the FDA HAS PULLED FROM production since the first of the year!

Using this model as an example, I purpose that the same situation that this illustrates, is the same kind of dysfunction that is keeping our culture and society economically repressed and ill.

The intrinsic flaw with our culture, much as pain to the human body, is that nobody understands it.  Everyone lives under the body of this great constitution but nobody cares.  We have many rights, that go virtually unnoticed. We enjoy our bodies until they cause us pain and suffering then we go to the doctor and take medicine for the problem.  What is America's Medicine?  A healthy dose of Constitutionalism.  Still, I have mentioned in others posts, elsewhere, that the problems that face America, are to be 'fixed' or 'solved' by the government.  This is in error, as Americans we ALL have a say in the government.  Even a duty- to enact civil disobedience when other methods fail.

I'm not advocating mass anarchy, but I compel the reader to find their voices and medium of expression and use that 1st Amendment for something other than newsprint.  I stand on the first so I don't have to use the fifth.

Lately, some forms of expression (diseased I might add) have been making headlines.  Recent mass shootings are the topics I'm addressing.  In NO WAY is this a valid form of expression, it is deranged and valueless.  It is intra-terrorism, and should be treated as such.  As to patriots stock piling precious metals, guns and ammo, this is more an expression of paranoia than being 'prepared.'  If mass execution, suicide gunmen are the new way to express dissatisfaction, how long before the government may express themselves to us with tanks and missiles in the streets? You know, back to that pain management thing, one celebrity and a handful of drug addicts were able not only to take a pain medication that worked off the market, but also, introduced a drug passed through the FDA to replace methadone in the treatment of heroin addiction, i am speaking to seboxone.  This drug is more costly than methadone and was put on the market before testing was back, presumably because the FDA and Pharma-business could hoard more cash over someone's misery .  It is a narcotic and it has more detrimental side effects than the drug(s) it treats.  This is also similar to the American Problem.  You see, programs and policies are introduced to the society before they are even tested.  I purport that we become the 'survey' nation.  All the data mining that goes on why not?  Why not test the demographic for programs (like ANY business does) and then establish a need for and against what is going on?  Welfare, Immigration, Health Care- test us before piling legislation on everything (much like medicine in the example above.)  Listen- as the human body- politics and government workings are just as mysterious and clandestine.  America was founded as a secret society, using the media to organize using the power of mind and hand rather than pissing all over FB.  So why no bring some of that back.  Why not only shop at the dollar store for your needs?  If all the dollar stores got business wouldn't other merchants and retailers have to bring the costs of goods down.  What about a mass 'park' in?  Everyone out of work with a car and license park from 7am to 9:30am on a major expressway interchange everyday for a week to protest the lack of jobs- say 1000 motorists could do a pretty good job of blocking the morning commute.  I can see it 696 and 275 interchange in MI, everyone listening to NPR and reading Henry David Thoreau's 'Civil Disobedience.'  Why not post and spam the government servers?  All with constructive 'American-isms?'  Something to the effect of- "Thou Shalt Obey Constitutionally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(13 'bangs' for our colony.)

See we've been taking the medicine for so long and listening to doctors (spin) who have no understanding of our conditions that we suffer from; that we are unable to GET BETTER- Body, MIND, SPIRIT.  Allegiance
