"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
CharlesMurtaugh analyzes the pill study, which I linked to earlier. He puts an anti-feminist spin to it, but he’s right about the role of sexual promiscuity. The other thing about the study which probably accounts for the popular media's lack of interest is that it is really, really boring. It’s a statistical analysis of data that is hard to slog through. Reporters can be forgiven for bypassing it. Or maybe they’re just being responsible and trying to digest it before they write their stories about it. posted by Sydney on
