	This is dissapointing.........

	Fish & Wildlife has now copied the White House Drug Policy "13
flushables" from:
http://www.ondcp.gov/drugfact/factsht/proper_disposal.html to their
site:  http://www.smarxtdisposal.net/.  This must be a recent change,
since their partner, American Pharmacists Association
(http://www.pharmacist.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home2&TEMPLATE=/CM/Co
ntentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=16954) still advocates the previous message
to not dispose of medications to the drain.
