Taking the Damn Pills

There's a wonderful film (and even more wonderful book) called One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... Jack Nicholson plays a newly admitted patient at a mental institution in the 1960's.

He's insubordinate, witty, and very much an individual...

The head nurse and his character get into a bit of an ongoing quarrel because he doesn't want to take his medicine.

With a bunch of bad noise and some Oscar winning drama, he ends up getting lobotomized.

Despite all the other messages the film has to communicate, the one that I'm relating to is the idea that if you don't take the pill prescribed, there will be consequences...

That "blogathon" begins now, and hopefully a couple spoon fulls of sugar will help this medicine go down.
