I think you guys are taking it slightly too seriously. It's just satiring all the bullshit comercials about how great pharmapseudicals are for you..thats what I thought anyways. You guys should listen to "A word" by Mark Bruback. It's on the Harum Scarum album "Mental Health." If any one knows where to get other stuff by him, please tell! a.oran.
This patch always made me think of nuclear waste, anti-depressants, and LSD. skizzle-wizzle
Chemicals are just inorganic materials (lacking Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, or Nitrogen). They exist in nature. A lot of bacteria use chemicals to create energy. We just can't consume chemicals because our bodies aren't equipped with such decomposing agents. Maybe they mean...synthesized chemicals? I find nothing wrong with the forward movement of technology. Using subjects to test these said "chemicals" for the sake of technology, however, is what is wrong. M. Butterfly
This is a bit too ludditistic for my tastes. I mean certainly, there are valid reasons to be suspicious of (and even fearful of) chemicals, but does it merit a general denunciation of them? I mean, how many people in here use rubbing alcohol on their cuts, or clean their clothing with detergents? Getting on a 'anti-technology high horse' won't ultimately solve our problems. Rather, it's modifying the present relations of production that will "make our lives better" but only I don't mean that sarcastically, I mean it in earnest. Rev. Uncle Neil Banana Head
