We are peddling an idea here. We are not peddling a product. If we were peddling a product then the facts, such as a 40 million dollar Campath market would be understood.... We are peddling an idea that it is ok for a drug company to send MLNM a check every quarter. We are peddling an idea that it is OK for MLNM to grow by acquisition. We are peddling an idea that inspite of the rehab companies ,,,,and the doctor agencies ,,,,and all of the companies associated with healthcare;,,,, in spite of the fact that the Columbia HCA's ,,,the Pediatrix Medical Groups,,,,The NovaCares' of the world have crashed and burned. In spite of that fact,,,, We are saying that the power is here,,,, that the answer to our problems is here. That the power is in the technology. That is what we are saying. But that's not the case. That's not the case because the power is not in the tehcnology or in the ego's of the guys burning 6-7 dollars per share a year. The power is not in the selling of a billion dollars of stock like clockwork orange. The power is not in the fleecing of the retail investor by the motley fools of the world. That's not where the power is. Because when that's all said and done. When this story is old and nobody cares any more because it's like. OH YEAH. That didn't change anything in the world. It just raised health care costs some more and yeah it may have saved a few lives in the world a long the way and yeah that's a good thing. But what good did it actually do. Where is the power in that. After the stock crashes and burns and the brokers have sold all their paper and the public is left holding the bag. Where is the power in that.....When the story is old.
