What with the biofuel debacle unfolding, and the profit incentives, and the absolute lack of power and influence that "the people" hold (not to mention the abject failure of the educational system over the last few decades), the aforementioned rapists have little about which to worry.

Envious Bill All I do is put maybe 20 leaves or six flowered spikes into to a standard pitcher of water, wait a couple of hours and then have a couple of glasses a day. It is good for two days. I usually add some lemon and mint when I can. I bought a half pound dried bulk and except for tasting like hay it does the trick. Track your BP to figure out how much of your regular meds you can cut back. My doctor doesn't seem to care as long as my numbers are good.

Sounds like you're making rounds too often. I didn't have any trouble with drugs except getting a bottle of wine smuggled in so that I could wash down what the hospital called food. I have no idea how long I was out. Middle of the the afternoon to the middle of the night is all I remember. Damned near bled me out. Wife's cousin in Germany had his operation and then went to a convalescent hospital for six weeks. Me they wanted to throw out on the sidewalk after the first day but because I lost so much blood they had to keep me over an extra day, whoopee. Now I have a huge scar, something they call a mattress stitch. Last 10 years have all been free ones.
