to stop these bills and lawsuits Proponents of legislation and litigants never meant to ram psychiatric drugs down the throats of tens of millions of innocent people; rather, they often sought the diametric opposite Now that the laws exist, they are being abused on a massive scale by the power-hungry ruling and managerial classes to push psychiatric drugs
FMLA, originally vehemently opposed by corporations, is now
also being abused by them on an equally massive scale to evade ever having to pay sick leave

successive generation of Americans Virtually unheard of among immigrants, regardless of country of origin or generation Roman Empire had disintegrated under similar circumstances, likely because of pandemic lead poisoning from the plumbing having been lined with lead And that makes me a bitch?

General anesthesia Addictive Modern age of addiction had begun with anesthetics in the 1850s
Discoverer had become addicted and committed violent crime and suicide under its influence
Detroiter wrote an anonymous letter to his doctor describing his horrifying addiction to chloroform
I had no special cares to drown, but it became my tyrannical pleasure to draw over my senses the veil of oblivion. I loved the valley of the shadow of death. I knew there was danger that one night I should pass over the line, into a sleep from which there would be no waking, but death held no terrors for me. Nay, to bring all of my faculties and powers and ambitions into the sweet oblivion of transient death was the one pleasure for which I cared to live.
19th century pioneer on drug abuse identified ether and chloroform as the worlds most addictive substances

The War between the States was actually the final showdown between agrarian feudalism and industrial capitalism. This is why Sherman burned the Deep South with impunity, so that industrialization could proceed unchallenged. Only a small, close-knit community of bloomer-wearing, teetotaling radicals was ever genuinely concerned about the welfare of African Americans; the megamaniacal industrialists merely co-opted the issue of colonial slavery late in the war to rationalize their bloodlust for power. Consequently, the benefit of the conflict to African Americans was only temporary. And this makes me and her bitches?

Since the triumph of industrial capitalism during the War between the States, the Western world, particularly the U.S., has been built on blood for jobs. Geopolitical militarism and blood for oil is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Roman imperialism, medieval papacy, and colonialism were all precursors to blood for employment, but making a living doing things that one should not be doing came to full fruition once agrarian feudalism had been vanquished. And that makes me a bitch?

Chances Are the Same Industrialist Wrote Both of These Scripts, Too:
The U.S. staged a fraudulent naval attack in the Gulf of Tonkin to claim that an already decrepit and unseaworthy ship had been destroyed by Soviet-sponsored forces from northern Vietnam This tiny country on the opposite shore of the Pacific Ocean was invaded for no other reason than to stimulate the economy, create jobs, and make some already overprivileged people rich Millions of Vietnamese and U.S. soldiers were killed Millions of Vietnamese and U.S. soldiers, as well as the Vietnamese environment, were seriously and permanently harmed by napalm and Agent Orange Some Vietnamese women and children were sexually abused by U.S. soldiers or forced into prostitution by poverty Fornication between white men and Oriental women became a major sexual fetish, a fetish which did not exist in the 1940s
Over 100 million people a year are told that they have something defective that must be surgically corrected. The minority with a real problem, such as appendicitis or orthopedic injury, are denied nerve blocks, which would've been much safer, less traumatic, and more cost effective. These victims are anesthetized for no other reason than to stimulate the economy, create jobs, and make some already overprivileged people rich Thousands of these each year die either intraoperatively, over the following year, or commit suicide over the following year or so All of the victims at best are permanently deprived of their creativity, imagination, and some of their personality, and at worst suffer outright Alzheimer Some victims are sexually abused and then mislead that they were abducted and molested by aliens for scientifically impossible genetic experiments Anesthetized patients became a major sexual fetish, a fetish which did not exist in the 1940s

unwanted, suicidal practices imposed by laws, dogma, business rules, mass media propaganda, disease mongering, and other forms of ruling and managerial class coercion and intimidation. Elimination of forced and coerced consumption allows violent, militaristic practices to become extinct. Prohibition: enactment of laws and/or dogma against risky but common behaviors, which millions risk significant criminal sanctions to continue.

The yielding of 90s dot-com hype to neoconservatism has shown that the information revolution will be much harder and bloodier than the industrial revolution had been. None of the warmongers, industrialists, capitalists, corporatists, or diseasemongers are ever going to walk away from evasion of real work, pipeline of addictions, and access to sexual prey, no matter how good anyones thinking, oration, writing, poetic, artistic, singing, songwriting, or filmmaking skills are. Unfortunately, the physical survival of the biosphere is going to require carefully organized cohesive force coupled with divine intervention. Copyright 2008-2009 by Marjorie E. Steakley
