What Are You...On Drugs?
With so many Americans popping prescription meds, 
who needs nature and sex and exercise?

The odds are very good that you are on drugs. 
  
Right now. This minute. As I type this and as you read this and as false
Texas dictators rise and sad empires crumble and as this mad bewildered
world spins in its frantically careening orbit, there's a nearly 50/50
chance that some sort of devious synthetic chemical manufactured by some
massive and largely heartless corporation is coursing through your
bloodstream and humping your brain stem and molesting your karma and
kicking the crap out of your libido and chattering the teeth of your very
bones. 
  
Maybe it's regulating your blood pressure. Maybe it's keeping your
cholesterol in check. Maybe it's helping you sleep. Maybe it's helping
you wake the hell up. Maybe it's opening your bronchial tubes. Maybe it's
brightening your terminally bleak outlook. 
  
Maybe it's adjusting your hormone levels or controlling your urge to weep
every minute or relaxing the blood vessels in your penis or cranking the
serotonin to your brain or pumping carefully measured slugs of any number
of substances with Latin-rooted jawbreaker names through your flesh in a
bizarre dance of miraculous vaguely disturbing death-defying scientific
wonder.
