Reply #27: Oh, really? They are "not obligated to distribute every drug the

I agree that a pharmacists shouldn't impose his/her religious beliefs on customers. (They act like birth control drugs are something new... in the end, I think the pharmacists' bosses will make them dispense WHATEVER MAKES MONEY... the "religious beliefs" crap is just some sort of marketing/advertising ploy, IMO.) But I have to stop for a minute and look at this story, and say, "If I get really outraged by a pharmacist's action, am I playing into the hands of the big pharmaceutical companies?"

As you may be able to tell, I AM SICK OF THE BIG DRUG COMPANIES AND THEIR GOUGING!

Sorry to go kind of off the topic, but... I was already supporting Kerry/Edwards, but I heard Edwards quietly make a single remark during his VP debate... it went almost unnoticed, but he said, "And we're going to do something about these prescription drug ads, which are OUT OF CONTROL." I heard him say that, and thought to myself, "Even if I had been dead-set against the man, that one remark alone would have made me do a 180 degree turn and become a fervent supporter of him!"

I am SICK TO DEATH of prescription drug ads in the general media. I am disgusted at all the various gyrations taking place to try to get each and every person in the country onto some sort of prescription! It's frightening, really.
