Willful:
Thanks for the support, Willful! I really appreciate it. I think what confuses me the most is that no one around me seems disturbed or outraged by this information. And, I'm glad of that in a way, because I am so codependent that it is only others' stability that keeps me in tact on many days. I am always looking at the behavior and reactions of others to determine whether or not everything is "okay in the world." But how can the whole country not be up in arms over the fact that millions of drugs they take everyday are produced in countries that have little, if any, quality control? It shocks me that people who are far more functional than I am are not protesting at the Capitol over this issue. It has definitely motivated me to write one of my (no doubt) form=letter-answered emails to the White House and my state representatives. But what of this world of global capitalism we currently live in? It appears that those with the most unfathomable levels of money and power (under the guise of corporate personhood) can get away with the worst types of unethical practices with no consequences at all. I know that sounds like a broken record, but to see it happening so rankly, and our government admitting it so shamelessly, that just takes it to a whole another level.
