I did not see anything in that article that was not fair and reasoned. All people have a bias or 50...but not all issues require exercising ones bias.

This thread had a genesis in the Old Boxing Ring. It was a bitter place of wide open fisticuffs and slug fests with no holds barred.

In looking back at some of my words to you, I see that I assumed that aggressiveness--mixed with a dash of insult! If you took it personal, I gladly take it back. If you did not, then no harm was done.

"So the crux of the article is that Pharmaceutical stocks are a good investment. I will consider that in my future investment decisions"

And don't forget BANKS. Dividends galore!

The richest people in the world have to earn their living at something, after all! And they elect Governments who then become Fat Cats with prestige and power. Lucky for the working public that there is no self interest, avarice, or bribery involved. $2 billion dollars a year on "doctor's events" just to further public health?? :-)

Although how in the Hell feeding pheasant under glass to grateful doctors sipping $50.00 wine is supposed to benefit the consumer...I will never know! It will certainly add to the cost, but on the other hand...we will SURELY be convinced that we need it!

"We've got to get your cholesterol down! It is keeping you alive!" Don't eat any more than two eggs because that is all the cholesterol your receptors can assimilate. Eggs are perfect foods so after two just eat a pickle because why enjoy yourself?

Your liver makes 80% of the cholesterol that keeps you alive every day. We can stop that by feeding you two eggs every several hours and shutting down your liver with drugs.

The side benefits are heart attacks...but you were heading in that direction anyway so DON'T blame us! We just make PILLS. Damn Canadians buy them over the counter with codeine and they never worry about cholesterol! Hard to fleece people who just don't give a damn for pheasant.
