Get -John Le Carre's Constant Gardener ! crdesign -- on the Enron theme of greed, avarice, money & politics...get "The Constant Gardener" it's now out on DVD/VHS. The movie stars Ralph Fiennes of 'Schindlers List' fame and it's an excellent film (incredible scenery of Kenya) -- an absolute must see... (I haven't read the book). Very topical vis a vis the recent events concerning Drug companies supressing negative side-effects and test results for new drugs. Also the story on the exploitation of Africa (a huge story in the coming decade)and the greed, avarice and political power wielded by the Global Drug Companies. Here's an amazing factoid: Guess what is the hardest drug to "kick" amongst users ? Hint: -- it's one of the largest legally prescribed drugs in the western world (whodathunkit ?). Here's a link to an interesting testimony from someone legally using the drug on a prescription basis and a link to a website in the U.K. with more info: benzo.org.uk thegaryhalbertletter.com More users than Heroin and harder to kick than Heroin. ..."harder to kick than heroin" -- hard to imagine that they didn't find that out early in the trial process ?
