So Much To Hate, So Little Time

Been awhile since your drugnazi has had a chance to tend to his blog I know, But I saw a story in today's Washington Post and knew a rant would be in order. The right wing jihadists are at it again, and they're hoping to enlist the drugnazi to do their dirty work for them. The gist of it is this; "11 states are considering laws to let a pharmacist refuse to fill a prescription for birth control, emergency contraception, or any other medication that they decided violated their system of personal belief" (Quote from the Center for American Progress) You can take a look at the whole article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A5490-2005Mar27?language=printer

Now, generally I hesitate to give these Cro-Magnon freak of nature dung heaps any advice (I think their main reason for raising such a ruckus about keeping Terry Shivo "alive" is that she has more brain function at this point than they do), but they may want to be careful about giving the drugnazi the power of the words "any other medication." I'll illustrate.....

"I'm sorry sir, as a vegetarian I cannot in good conscience fill your cholesterol prescription, as I am sure McDonald's and the wide variety of animal murdering merchants of death who do business in this country were instrumental in putting you in your current physical state"

"Well ma'am, if you hadn't spent the last 60 years of your life stuffing your face with Twinkies, Cheetos, and mounds upon mounds of whatever fried, processed, carb and sugar loaded crap you could get your fat little fingers on, you wouldn't need this diabetes medicine. In a world where billions have to get by on less that a dollar a day and don't have a choice not to exercise like you never do, I find filling this prescription to be morally reprehensible. You'll have to go elsewhere."

Or my favorite:

"My religious beliefs require me to sit and eat three times a day. Since I work a 10 hour shift and am not allowed to leave the store, you're just going to have to suffer until I am done with my ritual nourishment."

On a serious note. I noticed in the article that some pharmacists are refusing to fill birth control for unmarried women. I would certainly hope that to be consistent, they are inquiring into the marital status of every old geezer lining up to get his monthly Viagra allotment, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that that isn't happening.

All right......next post I'll get back to freaky customer stories, I promise. Until then, bring down the wrath of the drugnazi on any self-righteous little prick who puts himself in the role of god, be he pharmacist or not.
