Okay, okay, so we slacked a little last week! We didn't quite finish posting all the tantalizing videos we've rounded up on pharmaceuticals for you, so here's another one on the same topic before we wrap it up. This video is slightly comical, but it's a great way to start a Monday on a not too serious note. Enjoy!
Our strategy should be not only to confront empire but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubornness, our joy, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories. -Arundhati Roy

Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety
No one ever talks about the havoc that these corporate drug dealers cause! Well, until now anyway. This little vid is a bit about the profession of pill pushers here in North America, where there is about one pharamaceutical representative for every four doctors in the country.
We need to understand, that this is more than health care, this is profiteering. When large profits are involved, as is always the case, the consumer, the patient, is not the primary concern, the profits are.

Four Year Old Girl Dies From Overdose of Prescribed Antipsychotic Medication
This story was in the news a while back, and it just serves to illustrate the lack of cognition that seems to be occuring among certain medical professionals and their conspirators in Big Pharma. How can we as a society be ok with stuff like this??

The Drugging of Our Children
This little flick looks at the prevalence rates of childhood pill popping in relation to kids' inability to conform in school. Our society likes to create unnatural settings in which to "educate" children, and then sedate the same children they are "teaching" when those children don't conform to the rather restrictive standards in these unnatural environments. Maybe insead of trying to medicate our children to "work" with the current system of education, maybe the educational institution and our paradigm on education itself is what needs to change. The purpose of education and it's institutions is to serve humanity, not to force humanity to change itself in order to conform to the institution.

The Truth About Antidepressants
This week on the blog, we're focusing in on pharmaceuticals. These corporations are some of the biggest profiteers on the planet, and because of this, the truth about their products isn't always easy to come by. Once again, our trust of these companies and our belief in the "cures" they proffer only serves to illustrate our subservience to authority, and our inability to think critically for ourselves. Stay tuned this week for more vids on these sinister pill pushers...

Obesity P.S.A
This is absolutely hilarious, and kudos to the obese man who helped in the making of this film...
And this is not to say that we endorse smoking - we don't - but it's definitely not the only serious social ailment that affects our society, as this little short helps to illustrate..
