Editor's Note:
If any of these incidents had been associated with illicit
drug use, everybody would have been up in arms blaming the
methamphetamine, the cocaine, the pot, the alcohol and
calling on an increase in the futile War on Drugs.

But because these dangerous and dependency-incuding
synthetic chemicals have been blessed by the media,
prescribed by respectable physicians, manufactured by
extremely profitable famous corporations, making huge
amounts of money for investors and are headed by CEOs who
have their pictures on the covers of Fortune, BusinessWeek,
etc. we turn our gaze away from the obvious truth,
condemning our teenagers to more brain-altering (yes even
brain cell-destroying) legal "zombification" drugs that may
affect our children's personalities and behaviors for the
rest of their lives, perhaps condemning them to more acts of
suicide and/or aggression as Big Pharma laughs all the way
to the bank.
