  The future of child care
 
(URL) thing you know, doctors will be over-prescribing drugs for kids who have trouble sitting through a boring school day. Nah, that'll never happen... By the way, I am not equating the prudent prescription of medication for those who suffer from (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) But isn't that the direction of society in general right now--any bit of sniffle, any bit of pain, any slight cough, and "dammit, I want my medicine!" Any sort of uncomfortableness and we want a "quick fix"--"why should I suffer the least (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
