NOW you tell me. Sometimes I am wrong with great vigor by forgetting
about context sensitivity.

One would have thought that a rabid capitalist like yourself would
understand that what the drug companies do or propose is the socialist
way: eventually make everyone pay the same for their drugs!

Getting away from my earlier mispronouncement (and how that allowed
the conversation to go off on tangents that had nothing to do with the
original discussion--my bad), how is what you suggest socialist? . I can
find no requirement that everybody pay the same. Also, there certainly
is no plan on the part of the pharm to invest control of anything in the
community as a whole.

Nonsense. Don't you scream "socialism" when the government tries to
raise the minimum wage (price of labor)?
Actually I don't. I often think it is not a good idea because of
disruptions that impact especially hard on younger people. But the last
one I had no problem with since at the time even McD's was paying more
for people than the wage was going to be. It was just a reflection of
the current market.

I guess you've been hung by your own jockstrap ... or something like
that.
Happens from time to time. Most of the time I am right (grin).
