Instead of phrasing these issues as collective dilemmas that can be resolved through communal discussion and positive action, you use obviously divisive war rhetoric. I'm sure you'd love to lead a just crusade against the unenlightened, especially one that you've defined in such starkly moral terms (i.e. anyone who disagrees with you is choosing intolerance over freedom), but guess what? You can't resolve these problems that way. As the Women's Center has so ably demonstrated, you'll just end up alienating most of the campus from your cause as you bemoan their collective ignorance and intolerance. Fortunately (for everyone), neither you nor any other single individual or faction has a monopoly on the reins of power. That means you have to convince people, and you'll find that the old saying about catching more flies with honey than vinegar is almost universally true.
FDA Issues Safety Warning On Fentanyl Skin Patch
FDA issued its second safety warning about the fentanyl transdermal system, an adhesive patch that delivers a potent pain medicine through the skin. In July 2005, the agency issued a similar warning to the public and to health care providers, saying that the directions on the product label and on the patient package insert should be followed exactly in order to avoid overdose. FDA has continued to receive reports of deaths and life-threatening side effects after doctors have inappropriately prescribed the patch or patients have incorrectly used it. In addition, the agency is asking manufacturers of all fentanyl patches to update their product information and to develop a medication guide for patients.The fentanyl skin patch contains the opioid fentanyl, a potent narcotic. The skin patch was approved by FDA in 1990 for use in patients with persistent, moderate-to-severe pain who have become opioid tolerant meaning that they have been using another strong opioid narcotic pain medicine around-the-clock, and have been using the medicine regularly for a week or longer.
The Ron Paul "Surge"
Paul says "Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women...We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution (OK, so far, so good. I can agree with just about all of that). The last sentence, however, puzzles me because Congress DID vote to authorize the War in Iraq. The real issue was the lying President who sold Congress on a phony idea (WMD's in the hands of Saddam).
