Drug firms 'inventing diseases'

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>The pharmaceuticals descended on my hometown in the early nineties, consuming the beautiful landscape like a pack of screaming locusts; a small city of ticky-tacky tract homes fresh for the employees heralded their arrival, kicking out small farms and damn near everything else decent about the area. So much shit has been displaced around there that I hardly recognize it anymore. I fucking hate them and find it hard to choke back the bile rising in my throat just thinking about it.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br> Thanks for the insight.<br><br> I suppose at least we both understand how the native Americans felt now <p></p><i></i>

Some years ago, a good friend and teacher of mine gave me a copy of <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline">Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England</span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--> by William Cronon, and it opened my eyes to a lot of issues to which I was only partially aware before and have since become even more interested in understanding. I suggest you check it out if it seems like your sort of thing. <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"A crooked stick will cast a crooked shadow."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

<br> Just found a copy online, which hopefully, I will find time to look at later ( bedtime now ).<br><br><br> Online however, chapter 2 appears to be missing.<br><br> Anything of importance there ? <p></p><i></i>

It's divided into three "parts", so either chapter two is missing from part two, or the whole of part two is missing.

Ah, that's too bad. You can always buy it used. I'll let you know if I see it anywhere to read online. <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"A crooked stick will cast a crooked shadow."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
