As much good as prescription meds do in this country it's unfortunate to know that the leading cause of accidental death in the US is from prescription painkillers. We as a society owe it to mankind to stop these medications from being produced and put into the hands of citizens who use them illegally. We need to give up our rights for the few that abuse this. So please join in. Stop the madness. 41,000 people lost their lives to this last year. We as an American people are obviously not smart or responsible enough for these. More people died from prescription painkillers than heroin and cocaine abuse (both illegal) combined. Please, I ask the US government and it's legislators to help protect me.

    Come on, with the candles too. It's just too passive-aggressive at this point.

    . . We as an American people are obviously not smart or responsible enough for these.

    Are you saying normal people should be in pain so that irresponsible stupid people don't kill themselves....by accident?

    I think I tend to disagree there.

    (Are those candles scented? I swear i smell cherries. :lol::| )

    On the average 112 US citizens lose their lives every day from illegal painkillers. It's time to stop this. :(

    How many other people have they killed with their illegal drugs?

    I'm all for the gun owners pulling them out and shooting themselves now. Then maybe we can have an intelligent debate.
