Well, if it's that simple, why don't you do it yourself?

In case you hadn't noticed, rats & sheep are different from people.

But go ahead, if you succeed I guarantee you'll be one of the world's

You may be blaming the wrong folks. It turns out that George Bush Jr.
ain't "church people" after all.


Where'd you hear that? He says he is - altho some here say he lies (c: And
then there's the anti-gay marriage amendment and his promise to appoint
anti-abortion judges and ...., and .....

Well, I guess if talking about it is what defines one's religious
beliefs, then sure. But it's easily documented fact that George W. is a
very infrequent church goer.


In any event, you're crying for the moon and getting mad at Daddy for
not fetching it for you.


No, I am angry at GW Bush for preventing science from fetching it for me and
1000s of others.

It's not entirely his fault because 1- he is a puppet and 2- it is still
years away from even experimental protocols on human patients. Of course
it is still a free country... wait a minute, it's not really, but you do
still have the freedom to experiment on yourself.




How much have you donated to the American Diabetes Society this year? Last

year? How much translational research

have you funded?


About $1000/year. You?

None to diabetes. Quite a bit more than that to the Leukemia/Lymphoma
Society, which is a matter close to our family. We also donate a lot of
money to various medical foundations & two universities. Not that I'm
bragging or anything



You're angry at the docs & drug companies for making a profit, and
insisting that they cure you for free. That doesn't make much sense.


No, I am angry at the AMA and drug companies for creating a monopoly that
forces Americans to pay more than we should for treatment. A PhD Chemist or
Microbiologist is lucky to earn $125K/yr but MDs think themselves killed if
they don't make a $mil/yr.

That's a laugh. I know a lot of MDs who make less than your 125K$/yr.
And I know a lot that are not accepting new patients.

In any event, if there is no profit then there is no incentive to
provide goods or services. If the pharmaceutical companies are making
obscene profits in your humble opinion, then the answer is to 1- not buy
drugs and/or 2- buy stock in those pharm companies.

.... Drug companies charge Americans 2 - 10X what
Canadians pay.

I think that is somewhat of an exaggeration. But the higher prices in
the US is a problem.

Meanwhile, you are making a number of unwise assumptions. Why should
drugs be cheap, other than that you want it that way? Some even demand
free drugs and health care... why should it be free any more than
gasoline or electricity or video games should be free?

... Why? Because we have the finest politicians money can buy

No argument from me there.

But politics is not the answer to everything.
