Once America’s population swells to a certain point, we’ll see things the way the Chinese realized centuries ago:
When there’s too many people, it’s an unrealistic luxury to try and promote ‘the social good’.
It’s just like trying to change the tide of the ocean — it’s not going to happen, no matter how long or how hard you try.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that ‘public health’ and welfare are just bottomless basket cases. When you offer something for free, then there’s no incentive to cut it off. Scarcity is natural law!

I’m looking to import Chinese Herbal Remedies into the US. These are in the form of pills and creams. Can anyone give me more information about how does the FDA and USDA feel about non-endangered animal parts added into these medicines?
These animal parts may include snake infused wines, bugs, such as powdered scorpion or caterpillar.
Also does anyone know any good sources of information (other than the FDA website) were I could get a walkthrough on the process required for importing these pills. As in what restrictions and regulations I face.
Thank you so much in advance.

I am chinese, and it horrifies me at overly excessive profanity in culture imported from foreign nations, especially that of America and Japan (big surprise), for they may damage the mental health and stability of Chinese children as they mature in world, and cause lasting emotional and psychological harm. Japanese children, now, well, too much corruption in culture to even discuss (more shocking if they do NOT curse), and American children now much curse as well, much due to terrible negative influence on minds. Chinese young must NOT follow such poor example, and must choose good, not so evil.
I begin to consider to use political connections with government to propose total BAN of all bad and nasty words in culture, so that harmony may flourish, good will prevail over evil, and China’s ancient purity may yet prevail.

I’m writing a research paper on AD HD. I’m speaking on the subject as a whole. I’ve wrote about possible alternatives instead of medicine, the over diagnosis, the drugs and side effects. The only title I’ve come up with is Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Its Challenges and Remedies. Any help would be appreciated.
