on Toxic Water?
@jacob: Americans are over medicated as it is. The last thing we need is to start "introducing very tiny amounts" of other medications. Our water should be WATER, plain and simple. It should not be a cocktail of drugs including Prozac and Aspirin. Prozac has side affects such as; headache, insomnia, and nausea which can cause sufferers to misinterpret symptoms of anxiety or other conditions and cause anxiety to be exacerbated.
EXERCISE is the most powerful medicine know to man.
At LEAST 68% of adults in America (20 years and older) are obese or overweight. I'm proud to be in the 32% although it is VERY hard work in this culture. (years ago I was 60lbs heavier)
The conditions you spoke of can be avoided or cured by exercise. The answer is NOT medication. The drugs you mentioned will only cause dependency amongst the population.
Did you know that if you exercise, eat well, and are a slim person, you have avoided 3/4 of the most common cancers? Add green tea and we could be nearly invincible :)
PS Don't get me started about the disaster that bottled water is. It's a totally F%$#ed up industry!!

Sorry, I didn't realize $496 a week was not "approaching" $500. Thank you for calling me a liar.

Plaguewatcher: YOUR comments are revealing! I hadn't thought of it in such a way. It is true that the friends I know who are on unemloyment, are no older than 32. I should not have made such a generalization. My dad (51 years old) has been unemployed for over a year now and it does seem like he is losing hope. (he is not on unemployment) I'm becoming more and more concerned about the older unemploed folks in our society, who are finding it difficult to get work. Thank you for your words.
bird: indeed $200 a week is no picnic. Although, I'll bet you wouldn't trade your $200 a week of unemployment for a job that gets you $200 a week. ie a minimum wage job with limited hours..

Conservative or liberal, we, the people should have the power. Instead, we're being led around by ultra elite billionares.
We've been convinced it's a party issue and it's devided our power as the people. Well played fat cats, well played..

Everyone I know who is on unemployment is NOT looking for work regularly. They simply jump through the hoops of, giving evidence of job searches and filled out applications. Who can blame them? A friend of mine is getting $500 a week to not work. Why would you want to work 40+ hours a week for a job that pays $700 a week, when you can just take a 2 year paid vacation? (at a minimal pay decrease, considering they're NOT working) I have to deliver Pizza to make ends meet. I am JELOUS of my friends who are on unemployment!
If times were actually rough for these folks they would take initiative and find ways to make money. Instead, they take the free ride for as long as possible and I DON'T blame them!
