My thoughts on straightedge and its relation to the medical system. - by Trevor

The medical sytem has taught society to pop a pill whenever the smallest occurance in the body happens. Doctors actually encourage the use of asprin daily. I think its pretty safe to say most people have had or regularly take medicine and consider this a nessecity, but when it comes to straightedge ethics, this is obviously wrong. the testing of drugs and medicine on animals, right down to the ingestion of chemicals that can become as much of a dependency as any illegal substance. i would like to encourage everyone to take all natural "alternative" medicine, like herbs and plants, and to eat more nuts, grains, fruits, vegetables, and things God gave us. this will ensure the nutrients that do come with meat, without eating meat at all. the system fails daily and people die becaouse they are so dependant, i see it happen too much. the movement must go more towards legal drugs as much as illegal drugs and substances. thank you for listening to me ramble, email me at zaoafterdeath@hotmail.com i would love to hear any thoughts on this issue.

Thanks,
