And I&#8217;m reading and come across this: &#8220;Recent research has linked oxytocin &#8212; no relation to the painkiller OxyContin &#8212; to the ability of people to trust others.&#8221; Now, maybe I&#8217;m being overly generous when I assume that anyone reading this article isn&#8217;t confusing the HORMONE oxytocin with the DRUG oxycontin, just because of few similiar letters. Are we really that lame now? Or is the reporter writing the article just an ass?<\/p>\n<p>And isn&#8217;t the real problem here with &#8220;journalists&#8221; dumbing down a story unnecessarily? Can&#8217;t we just PRETEND that people aren&#8217;t that effing stupid? Even if we are? Let&#8217;s not play into it. It&#8217;s okay to not be stupid.
