Another great controversial topic: religion and society. Given the state of our country today, my views (as an atheist) are really irrelevant, but I'll keep an eye on the discussion from the sidelines.

Uppity,
Do you have any fact, commentary or experience to back this up, or is this just your gut feeling?

Alot of the time in the healthcare setting, one hand does not know what the other is doing. Too many hands in the pot with specialists, and so on. Always have someone with you when you go, especially if you are going to the emergency room. I once had hurt my knee and was in the ER and had gotton a shot and then a nurse came in and handed me some pills. I was informed enough to know that I had just gotten a shot and asked the nurse why the pills, what are they and told her that I had just received a medication. She kept insisting I take them. I asked her to check with doc on this, and sure enough, they were for the person next door. You always have to be aware.
And as for the Corvair, hahaha, I thought you were making up a hypothetical!
Don't forget: Caveat Emptor!

If we go down the religion path I'm checking out of this thread. Those debates always turn bad no matter what your beliefs.

Regarding Religon
History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
