al,

To expound a little on point number six.

I was sitting here with the computer and TV on and suddenly hear a report about Viagra on News Center 5 in Chicago.

The report goes as follows: Another Viagra death is reported in a Tinley Park man. 58 year old (not an old man, sailor) Christian Bartolli reportedly died suddenly while on Viagra for the past month. Bartolli's family claims that the Viagra was responsible for his death as he was in excellent health and not overweight. Pfizer claims that he had a bad heart and it wasn't Viagra's fault. Of course there was no mention of what the FDA had to say about this situation--evidently Pfizer speaks for the FDA.

All the Pfizer longs have been explaining that the 6 guys who died were not statistically significant and that they were all old men in poor health. Oh and I forgot the other important point that even aspirin kills people by inducing deathly ulcers. Now let's tell that to the brothers, sisters, wives and children of the victims. These guys took a non medically necessary drug approved by Pfizer's little helper so of course everything is A OK. Apparently the family of this victim will sue Pfizer--I guess if the FDA won't protect you then maybe your lawyer can.
