taking Viagra has become the "Christian" thing to do. it is now a man's Chrisitan duty to have a sustainable erection for his wife. i would imagine that a pamphlet will be produced by a well know religious publisher which updates current manuals about sex and Christians. what next? the nightly 700 club has already done a news spot on it. they were all giggling about it.

"The drug, which has been prescribed more than 145,000 times in its first two weeks of release, could be a prime candidate for theft and illegal resale because of its relatively high price of $10 a pill" Illegal sale of Viagra by crooks might account for a significant share of Pfizer's revenues. Although Pfizer can't sell it in the US for non-prescription use, they can sell it to foreign countries who might sell it without a prescription, perhaps illegally (and even smuggle it back to the US). Also, Americans will probably be able to buy Viagra without a prescription in Mexican towns near the US border. The market keeps on growing! Richard
