    Imagine government not playing nanny. That's a great concept that should be returned to the U.S.A. Once Big Pharma can figure how to make money in those countries the nanny state will arrive like it did in the good old U.S.A. Big Pharma will pay front groups to terrorize the populace with junk science and scare tactics to convince the uninformed masses they should be buying pharmaceuticals.

  • Reply to: Lessons Learned From Tobacco Control Should be Applied to Climate Policy   14 years 7 months ago
    The Issue is quite serious for those people who does not think about business and industries. You can see that not much governments have the courage to take keep a strict ban on the use of tobacco just because they are not ready to loose the revenue that it gives. For keeping the climate intact no government is ever ready to control any of the industries why? Revenue and growth will be affected. So what people want is money and growth and they are not worried about saving the planet.

    I think it is always good how some stars speak out and represent the mass majority about a certain issue. I'm sure financial reform is something that everyone will be interested in and would want to make their voices heard. Money is not something that can remain wasted.

    Gee...propagating military effectiveness?This happens everywhere, such as in Aceh a couple of years ago. Indonesian military officials once told the press about a round up against a small Aceh Free Movement insurgents camp which they claimed as successful by deploying only 40 men-strong special forces. The truth was the Indonesian military sent a few hundreds of troops and bombarded the camp with low quality missile artillery. Of course the Indonesians won the battle, the insurgents were so few compared to their huge number.
