The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

The Worst Kind of Pushers

For anyone who's ever suspected that the drug companies would rather see you sick than healthy (at least in your own eyes), here's a good article exposing some of the techniques used to sell drugs. I personally think that many of the things that are termed an illness these day are the product of an unhealthy lifestyle and remediation would require nothing more than some serious effort and soul-searching to get in touch with what it means to be human (physically and otherwise).

Here's also a link the 2006 Bitter Pill Awards (exposing drug company manipulation of consumers).
