Just one fix.
At the rate we're going, Americans will soon be on an all-pill diet. Not due to any space age, Star Trekkian nutrient capsules, but because there simply won't be any room left in our stomachs after the daily pill popping ritual. We've got pills for every social phobia (particularly impressive as social phobias tend to double their numbers every 30 days), pills for skin problems, penis pills, pills to re-grow your hair, pills in the morning, pills in the evening, ain't we got fun? And now pills to curb compulsive shopping. When does it end? Every president pushes the drug war, locking up recreational users, when there's a nation of pill popping junkies out there who can't leave the house without a handful of happy pills. Who are the real addicts?
