OTC medicine
I went to the pharmacy today to buy allergy pills. When I go to get them off the shelf I find out that I need to ask the pharmacist for the OTC meds. I thought that it was a pain but slightly understanding since too many people are using them to make meth drugs. What I didn't know was that they want to scan your drivers liscense along with typing in your SS # for their records. I'm not sure why anybody would really need to have all of that information for allergy pills but I do know the "reason" that they will give you if you ask. To think that my family wonders why I don't want to have kids! I go insane enough in this world let alone have a kid that would have to live with the "control" factor all of its life. What happened to the 
state that we once lived in? Thanks for letting me vent!!!

I hate that as well. There is nothing like feeling like you've been puked up by a cat, going to the store for a hopefully quick trip to get pills, and then have to sit there and try to get people to understand what you're saying. I say if you can't understand someone because they're so clogged up, then they get the pills with no hassle.

Exactly, now if I was buying 5 boxes I could see an eyebrow being raised in this day and time but one box is no call for an alarm. Regardless of how a person sounds. I am the type that tries to keep some allergy pills on hand since I seem to be plagued by them. Now they find it as a reason to investigate or keep an eye on you? Why don't they just keep a closer look at the anhydrous ammonia being sold. Not that I want them to have to go though alot of s#it to get it either but at least they would have a little bit better planning then trying to fight an illness with having hurdles to go through.

it may be because there never has been a free state, anywhere 
Cept maybe the north or south pole.

Yes I do agree! I have read 1984 but I haven't had the ability to watch the movie. I am considering buying it for my better half for his b-day this year. I sometimes feel like this world is becoming like Atlas Shrugged. Maybe there are people out there doing what John Galt did in the book. Hopefully if there is then I will be one that they come to get soon! It does kinda make me wonder the way this world thinks that it needs to know every aspect of your life. You get the feeling that you should call them up to ask to go to the
if you have 
or 
. Wonder if they would like me to do that

I've never had a problem buying allergy pills here, but that's prolly coz pot is more popular. *Shrugs* Keeps the plant nurseries in business.

Which film. There was a black and white one with Peter Cushing or is it the colour one with John Hurt. I didn't see the Peter Cushing one as I wasn't even born then and the John Hurt one was on telly but I didn't realise what it was at first and it was part way through the film. Never read the book though.
One of my little mottos is "I rather be a rebel who's free than a slave who conforms."

I read the book, at school. It was very memorable, and I will never read it again. Nor do I have the desire to watch it in film form.
Watership Down, on the other hand, I became quite obsessive about at 12 years old. I think my father got quite worried.

When my mum took me to see it when I was a little Metaliant, we had to leave, because I cried when the rabbits got killed. Can't remember exactly what happened. I love the film and even recorded the short lived TV series on CITV in the 90s.
Mind you though, when the Goodies, a 70s TV comedy act did their Watership down sketch, I didn't cry in sadness but probably did cry in laughter but can't remember that well either as I was too young then.
Remember the Chas & Dave song, Rabbit (I think that's what it's called).

I think there is a BIG price difference between the newer to older version with the later being cheaper. Probably bad quality. I do agree with your quote though. I also like the one that goes something like it's better to live one day as a lion then to live a life time like a sheep.
What is this Watership Down that you speak of? It sounds interesting and insightful.

A warren of rabbits are fleeing their home, which is being destroyed by land developers. The story follows their search for a new place to live. The story-telling is fabulous. I was drawn in from page one. It's kind of hard to find now, which is sad. I steal my mom's copy regularly as a result. ^_^

I always loved the idea that the whole book grew out of a story the author was telling to his kids during a long car journey.

I dunno about the cartoon, (which was very violent) but the novel is very good and used as a vehicle to discuss many things.
