Epidemic vs. Crisis

Epidemic just sounds large and must affect a lot of people.

Crisis is a critical point at which things change.

As they relate to “opiods” the only crisis will be is if the pharmaceutical companies stop over grossly stop profiting from it.

“This is a place where alcohol ruins more lives than cancer, and everybody gets upset when some athlete gets hooked on cocaine.

You know Time Magazine and Newsweek put cocaine on the cover, but they put the liquor advertisements inside the magazine.

It’s the old American double standard, you know say one thing and do something different.”
