As drug ads surge, more get Rx’s filled

2008 March 4

by giannakali

I’ve said this many times. Now here’s some statistics in USA Today.

Do not assume my endorsement of everything on this site

I often publish authors whose articles I appreciate but I may not always agree with all that is said. My pieces, also, cannot stand alone. Pieces of my work contain ideas that may sometimes seem to contradict other pieces because all cannot be said in a short essay on any given subject. It's wise to not make assumptions based on a few pieces of writing. The same holds true for me blogroll. I by no means agree with everything all the authors share. Use your judgment in all things.
