A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

CounterPunch.org | Drug Ads Are Deceptive and Deadly by Brandon Novick
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The piece argues that direct‑to‑consumer prescription‑drug advertising in the United States is both misleading and hazardous, as companies spend billions on emotional marketing that omits crucial risk information while exaggerating benefits; this practice drives Americans to pay far more for less effective, pricier drugs, contributes to serious health harms—including deaths linked to misleading ads for products like Vioxx—and undermines public health. Because only the U.S. and New Zealand permit such ads, the author urges Congress to curb deceptive marketing by requiring clear, prominent disclosure of all risks, imposing hefty fines, and eliminating liability shields, thereby making false advertising unprofitable and encouraging the development and promotion of genuinely safe, effective treatments.

“We work for the federal government, not a church. I just want to go to work and make my country better — I shouldn’t have to suffer through sermons and other religious messages forced upon me by the head of a federal agency.”
