Christian Anarchism
© MMIX v 1.0.3
The institutions man creates mostly serve the people who run these institutions.
For example:
The State mostly serves the functionaries of the State. It does not serve "the people". A job-holder's main job is to keep the institution alive so he can keep his own job. Despite its advertised reasons to exist, the State definitely does not serve the poor. The poorest of the poor, who are often mentally disabled too, are left to sleep on sewer grates on cold winter nights in Canada's cities. That is why groups like the Salvation Army cruise the streets of Regina picking up people they find wandering when it is -40° and 3:00 AM. Volunteers take these people to shelters so they won't die. "Homeless people like to be independent. They like to live like that," apologists say. So much for the "Welfare State" and the idiotic taxes it collects so it can "provide services to Canadians."
To be sure, the State does provide some services to some Canadians. Those running things get the lion's share, of course. Contrary to popular belief, however, the government does not "run the country." It never did and it never could. That was proven by the Soviet Union. The people who live in any country run it. They are the country, not the luminaries who parade before the citizenry and take credit for everything, when things are good. The Governor General and the Prime Minister are no different from the mayor of the City of Regina, or the mayor of the village of Vibank — The mayor does not "run the city." And he never did and he never could. And no one imagines that he does, except, perhaps, the mayor.
PLEASE, let the hot air out of the balloons that carry our "leaders" aloft. You have the release chords to the vents on top of those balloons. [1] They are inside your own head. Pull them. Our "leaders" will descend to earth where they can walk around with the rest of us.
Christian anarchists think the Christian Church took a wrong turn when Constantine converted. Christianity became the Roman Empire when it became the religion of the Roman Empire — almost 2,000 years ago. [2]
We look at what everyone does and ask, "What does this have to do with the gospel?"

CIPRO
© MMIX v 1.0.7
To emphasize the ignorance of physicians, Cipro is often prescribed post-op for tendon repair surgery.
Cipro [1] was prescribed by the urologist, Dr. Tse (whom I would classify as a good doctor), in July 2007, after various Sulfa drugs [2] which were prescribed by Dr. Tasneem (another good doctor) had failed to solve my prostate problem. At the time, I had nearly recovered from the side effects of the cholesterol lowering drug, Zocor, which had been prescribed from 1992 to 1998, when I stopped taking it, by Dr. John N. Alport, M.D. (whom I would classify as a very bad doctor, to say the least).
Reviewing the side effects of Cipro, it is a good thing I stopped taking it and started drinking BELL EZEEFLOW TEA. I could have been right back in Hell had I continued taking Cipro because many of the side effects listed for Cipro are the same as those I had endured for 15 years from Zocor.
"The Food and Drug Administration has imposed the government's most urgent safety warning on Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox and many other flouroquinolone antibiotics. The FDA orders a prominent "black box" warning and the development of new literature for patients emphasizing the risks. The most prominent risk is tendon rupture causing long term disability, possibly permanent.
"This is an important first step to ensuring these antibiotics are only used when the patient faces a potential fatal outcome, and only after the use of all other antibiotics have been ruled out. This is not due to the probability of risk, but rather severity.
"To those who have been affected, prognosis is normally not good. There is no cure. Often repeat exposure through food and water cause a continual never ending cycle of symptoms. Many victims face the fact that their lives have been completely destroyed. Many face loss of job and income, some face breakup of the family. Some have even committed suicide because of the pain inflicted by these drugs.
"Unfortunately, physicians currently give these prescriptions out like candy. To emphasize the ignorance of physicians, Cipro is often prescribed post-op for tendon repair surgery. The physician will often prescribe a drug known to cause tendon rupture as a preventive to infection after tendon repair surgery. There is an obvious neglect on the part of the physicians who simply do not known the potential dangers of the drugs they prescribe. So where is the breakdown of information? Unfortunately many physicians mistakenly rely on pharmaceutical drug reps to point out any potential side effects rather than investigating it themselves. Further implicating the physicians, they accept gifts from drug companies and in return will prescribe unnecessary and dangerous substances. Drug Reps, paid on commission, find themselves making more sales by not disclosing the dangers, or make light of potential side effects. Making the problem worse, the drug manufactures trivialize and distort the potential risks.
"A pending U.S. Senate bill would require drug companies to report gifts to doctors of more than $25. New York State's legislature plans to hold hearings this year on the relationship between doctors and drug companies. One congressional critic has even compared the drug industry with the tobacco industry, and Senator John McCain has called drugmakers the 'bad guys.'
"Antibiotics known as flouroquinolones have been associated with some or all of the following adverse drug reactions:
• Tendonitis, Tendon Rupture, Tendon, Ligament, Joint and Muscle Damage
• Vision Damage, Hearing Loss, Taste Perversion
• Peripheral Neuropathy (Tingling, burning sensation)
• Insomnia, Nightmares, Anxiety, Depersonalization, Cognitive Disorders
• Brain, Heart, Liver, Kidney, Pancreas, Blood and Endocrine Disorders
• Severe Psychotic Reactions, Suicidal Thoughts or Actions
• Gastrointestinal Damage
"Compounding the problem, there are numerous drugs which should not be taken in combination with this class of antibiotics. There are increased risks of injury when they are taken in combination with corticosteroids (e.g.: Prednisone, Flovent, Nasarel, Azmacort, Advair Disku, Methylprednisolone Dospak, Elocon Cream, Desoximetasone Cream, and Sterapred) and when taken in combinations with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g.: Motrin, Pamprin, Aleve, Advil, and Ibuprofen, among others). Physicians are frequently not aware of these contraindications and prescribe dangerous combinations of drugs which cause severe injuries to their patients. Physicians may also not be able to identify that their patient is suffering an adverse reaction and instruct them to continue to take more of the antibiotic resulting in very serious and perhaps preventable injuries." [3]
Dr. Tse could have finished me off with Cipro. A good doctor would have finished what a bad doctor had started, that is, killing me. I liked Dr. Tse and I trusted him, although I only met him twice. Dr. Tse has a good reputation. But then, I liked Dr. Alport and I trusted him too. Alport grew up down the street from my house. He came from a good family everyone said. (Everyone was wrong.) Otherwise, Dr. John N. Alport, M.D. would not have had the opportunity to torture me all those years and then laugh in my face about it afterward. Everyone should think twice before going to the doctor, any doctor. But they usually have no choice and go anyway. Doctors are sworn to uphold the Hyppocratic Oath [4] and they are among the most respected and highest paid members of society. You'd think you would be safe. You could be wrong.
One cannot be too careful. Life is full of danger. Yet one must take chances to live. One must trust others too.
