Drugs support terrorism. Cigarette money supports the government. Cigarettes are drugs. The government supports terrorism?(Bumper Sticker)
A lot of the crap the FDA "approves" is killing us. Tell me you haven't seen one of those recalls for medications.

"If you took Extenze and suffered heart attack, explosive diarrhea, or lung cancer, you may be entitled to money!"

But just a few months earlier, the commercials were claiming the medicine was approved by the FDA. How do you approve something, but then later say "Oops, my bad, this product will destroy your body." I can just imagine a troll face on one of those guys.

Because corporations control congress with their vast sums of cash and have caused them to loosen restrictions imposed by the FDA and EPA in order to make even more vast sums of cash without having to spend more time in the experimental stages. Combine this deregulation with simultaneous deregulation of banks (See: the fuckloads of new fees banks are beginning to impose on customers for things like having a debit card or simply having an account) is leaving us in a state similar to the pre-Great Depression era.

Deregulation - bad for everyone except those rich folk.
Indeed. This bank nonsense is going to make people go back to the old fashioned cash under the mattress.
I question the wisdom of this quote, considering cigarettes aren't an illegal drug.
How else are they going to detain scapegoats? I'll bet more than 90% of the detainees weren't doing anything.
Only you, Yut. Good job :3

Exactly what I was thinking.
Flawed premise is fail logic.

Besides, why be so indirect? The US government (for example) actively supported Osama Bin Laden against the Soviets and Saddam Hussein against Iran. And continues to support the Saudi royal family, who just *happen* to be one of the biggest funders and supporters of Islamic terrorism in the world.

We would have far fewer problems if we stopped creating them.
Shouldn't the conclusion be "Drugs support the government and Terrorism?"
Dunno.
