DNA test ordered for Anna Nicole Smith's baby

[skcin]

So it was just too much of a bunch of stuff & it all interacted. I'm sure the infection didn't help matters, who knows if it had gotten in her blood yet. A fever that high, a stomach bug....she was probably horribly dehydrated. Too bad she didn't go to the hospital when they asked her to.

Not because they're horrible people. I can (but don't) go into my doctor's office and legitimately get prescriptions for some of my pains and mental problems. I can (but don't) take that paper to the pharmacy and have it filled for 20-whatever bucks, turn around, and sell each individual pill for a jacked up street price to jacked up friends. I can (but don't) make 8 bucks per pill on a certain 10mg pill when it only cost me $1.50 per pill to start with. The needy greedy have a hard time turning profit like that down for the sake of morals, as unfortunate as it is. You don't think about who you're selling to or who they're going to turn around and sell it to or whatever else they're going to do with it... including the possibility that it may very likely end up in the hands of a kid, through an older kid, who got it from an older kid, who got it from a dude. You just think that you need to make xx-ty dollars off this to have the money you need for your next turnover or bill.

America can take its war on drugs and thumb it up its ass, imo. It's a waste of money, and drugs will never be stopped. So long as bureaucrats can continue to find someone to "treat" or punish, they will still have a job.
