So stuff those that can't..... eh Steve, majority rules and all that.

Problem is as I see it, there is no back door, no way out, no fix once
damaged, that's what makes taking this drug like a game of Russian Roulette.

And to those that are damaged, who cares, certainly not the Doctors,
Pharmo's,....if the light is a bit bad for some of those professionals
maybe by removing their blinkers would allow them to see outside their
consulting rooms and into the lounge rooms of those who have been damaged.

Zee is bringing informed (by experience) and documented information to
those contemplating taking this drug, and I hope she continues to do so.

Ahem,
