I missed the ray of hope. Are you talking about the fact that it got some publicity? I try to talk myself into thinking of pharma as people too. But when I read something like this, only the word "evil" comes to mind.

[QUOTE=paula_w But when I read something like this, only the word "evil" comes to mind.[/QUOTE]
The word "evil" is the accurate description. Those who don't care about human health should get out of the human health business. Here are some choice quotes from the article: .... I thought, ‘Oh, my god, I’m going to go blind because of these jerks.'”… In some regions, a 50-milligram dose of generic leucovorin costs 98 cents; a newer brand-name alternative called Fusilev costs $184.08. …. “It’s money, pure and simple,” … “To have some faceless, nameless coward running a pharmaceutical lab decide he wants a bigger BMW and isn’t going to make your drug — I feel helpless,” Dierker said. “That’s the really frustrating thing, not to be able to do anything about it.” .. Faceless, nameless cowards - that's Pharma for starters. Add in the words "loathesome criminals" and the description is missing only the words "ethically dead reptilian predators" or simply "perps". |

That's a really good line. I'm going to remember that one and use it.

That's a really good line. I'm going to remember that one and use it. [/QUOTE like bees to honey - this is LIFE! for example Social workers coommonly hhave histories of abuse - policeman often grew up with aa sense of powerlessness and lack of protection - coaches and school teachers often are those who grew up with little encouragement or guidance...and on and on A man may fail many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else ~ J. Paul Getty just sayin'..... (Coming from someone who has spent a lifetime giving her power away rresulting in a very fragmented heart)
