AN: I wrote a paper on pharmaceutical pricing and gave a presentation the subject. I wanted to agree with FONDL on the topic of R&D, but also understand how Americans pay more than those living in other countries. Thank you for the precise details. Pharmaceutical patents are interesting as well because companies get their patents extended by developing an XL release formula or some other variation of the original formulation, thereby preventing generic meds from competing with their product.
Interesting current world events. I knew that with the first report of fires in France that there would most likely be escalating violence and angry groups testing their limits in other countries.
The present world events show that there are hostile groups that are genuinely unconsolable and bent on violence. Is there anything that would really soothe the angry protesters? There are people who want to fight, kill and dominate and will start their violent acts with little (almost imagined) or no provocation. Perhaps the angry protesters will show their true colors and enlighten some of those who were unconviced of the present threat throughout the world.-T
