I'm really getting sick of the manufactured bogeyman of government regulation. These scenarios are at best fantasy and the advantages of proper regulation are obvious to see.
Considering that some people replicated what the wright brothers did I think the whole point is moot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo0kpCU03-U
Aspirin is an OTC and thus excluded from those mortality statistics.
Additionally most of those deaths were from elderly people who suffer from arthritis and are taking NSAIDs daily and longterm.
Overall that is a very misleading headline.
Plenty of people don't think the added safety of seat belts is worth it, the minor fine related to not using them seems like a tiny risk in comparison to dismemberment or death. However, many of those same people fear the fine more than physical harm which seems silly to me. Perhaps, if I was more empathetic I would 'get it', but I don't run things so I don't really feel the need to.
Note: I am suggesting that the law needs to change or anything, just that I don't understand why people think in that fashion.
Because it's the first manned flight?

No it isn't at all like that.

And I'm really getting sick of this place turning into reddit.
Is daily inflammation a normal thing...? Maybe I'm just not observant enough, but I notice inflammation most often when I cut, bruise, scrape, or otherwise accidentally abuse my body - in which cases, memory tells me that (in the mild case) that's the right response.

Also, it's killing me: what does FSM stand for in your sentence? Flying Spaghetti Monster? Fuel Supply Manifold? Free Speech Movement? Something else?
OTC medications are only approved if the drug and condition are mild enough that a doctor doesn't need to be involved.
And it gets a little bit silly -- 200mg ibuprofen are OTC, 400mg require a prescription.
With antibiotics there's a pretty good reason for them to prescription only, namely that drug resistant strains of illnesses are becoming a serious problem and it's only made worse by the over use of antibiotics. Plus, you likely don't know what the appropriate antibiotics will be for what ever problem you're trying to treat are.
The problem is, it is a rough drug on your kidneys and has potential cardiac side effects.
Nope, all sorts of things that are not addictive are controlled by the FDA [insert long rant here]
Edit:
Church leaders responded in 2008
Henderson interpreted the growing pirate activities at the Gulf of Aden as additional support, pointing out that Somalia has "the highest number of pirates and the lowest carbon emissions of any country."
I'm a vitamin junkie (Don't pick on me, it's my FSM), so I've been taking low-dose aspirin for over a decade now. If I remember my health-nut mythology correctly, the theory is that inflammation (and especially inflammation related to blood sugar spikes) is believe to be a contributing factor to a lot of bad stuff: diabetes, cancer, aging, and so on.
Interesting to see aspirin continuing to make the news. Amazing drug.
