No frivolity today, it's Memorial Day here in the U.S. This is a solemn occasion
dedicated to those who died in war. Here's a respectful salute to the fallen and
their families. And here's a sincere hope that the sacrifices of the past can
show us a way to a more peaceful present and future.

Follow-up
re: Statins in the drinking water
An amazingly ignorant suggestion, and shows the author lacks any pharmaceutical background whatsoever. Statins interact with many commonly prescribed medications in a dangerous fashion, and even niacin supplements. These interaction would outweigh any benefits from having a clinically-effective dose present in the water supply. Who knows how much it would cost to fund such a harmful program.
Basically ignore any drug-related article on the internet unless it is backed by some type of rigour, ether from peer-reviewed studies or other collaborative authoritative source without bias.
