If a patient who took a particular medication died
because the directions on the label were unclear,
how can he ask for another prescription? He's dead.
Anyone takes serious medicine should ask for clarification
if the label is not clear or if he/she can not read.

Bravo Ken!
Just one thing, the votes they are asking to be counted now, have never
been counted, so one can't consider them a re-count.
They were thrown out by the computer because either they
weren't punched hard enough, or a piece of the paper stuck and the hole
wasn't completely open and the computer couldn't read them.
They are called "under-votes" and in normal elections
they are never counted. They wouldn't have been now, except by court order.
There are 8,686 under-votes in Broward County from this election.
How many there are in other counties, we haven't been told yet. This is
something the
general population has never been told, and I thank the Democratic party for
bringing it to the attention of the Florida voters.
just me,
Marjorie
