Hey Yoo Joe,
Lighten up landsman. That post was meant as humor. It is a known fact
that "Iatrogenic" deaths are one of the leading causes of demise in America.

But since you mention the non-accidental deaths, let me remind yoo,,,
"If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!" No truer statement has
ever been made. Unlike Noo Yawk, No foreign army could ever capture
Texas(where I now live). We are all armed here. I own several six-shooters
and even a nine-shooter. Tho I live in The safest zip-code in Dallas, my
guns help me sleep very well at night.
Everyone here knows that I am a Libertarian. You might want to check us
out before yoo decide to disarm America...

However I will be voting for John Kerry this November as another four
years of Pharmacuetical Industry stooge Bush and they will outlaw vitamins
and food supplements. Mrs. Kerry (likeas myself) has a high three didget IQ
and is very into Yoga, Ayurveda and Naturopathy. Remember the
"Allopathic"(pill-pusher) "doctors" credo...
"Cure the patient and you lose the income stream!
Treat only the symptoms and the patient pays forever!"
Joe, also remember what Mr. Hamlet sez...
"There is much more in Heaven and Earth than
that which is contained in your philosophy, My dear Horatio."
