thank you, i have been agog at this factoid for a along time, and repeat whenever it is appropriate: as you mention, Big Pharma spends MORE ON MARKETING, than they do on R&D...
that's ALL you need to know to realize their bellyaching and crybabying about how much it costs them (read: US, as they write off that shit) is a fuckton of crocodile tears and bullshit...
*and* the marketing vs R&D costs are also massively skewed because they include idiotic MARKETING bullshit as "R&D", such as 'research' on the color of the pill, the form (caplet, capsule, pill, powder, etc), etc...
all those things have essentially NOTHING to do with the efficacy of the drug, and are solely for how much joe/jane sixpack will LIKE taking their crappy meds if it is in this or that form or color...
...but HOW the fuck can a person be 'convicted' on evidence they can't see ? ? ? it's fucking secret 'evidence' and i don't care what the 'law' is, this makes no sense justice-wise...
this bullshit uber-trump card of 'state security' is a tired and ratty excuse for fascism...
i know, i know, we are in bizarro, upside-down world now, where anything goes; but this catch-22 legal system is more kafkaesque than kafka...
such a stat has no meaning -on many levels- but here is how i know: when the kops charge a protester with 'sexual assault' because they kissed their riot shield, then you know such stats are massively skewed and/or meaningless...
kops beat/shoot/taser someone/anyone to death? justifiable, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES... mere citizen looks sideways at a kop, and suddenly they are charged with 10 different kinds of assault on a donut-eater ? ? ?
why, i just happen to know that factoid: according to the CDC stats, (this was several years ago), kops are NOT being murdered on the job at an incredible rate, it was approx 6 per 100 000, as i recall, and convenience store clerks were FAR more likely to be killed on the job...
i believe firefighters were TWICE as likely to be killed on the job as donut-eaters, but they don't seem to bark and bray about it like kops do...
at that point, cabbies were the most dangerous occupation to be murdered on the job, i think about 5-6 times more likely than kops... where are the crowds at the funerals of cabbies ? guess they aren't as human as kops... *snort*
another factoid: i think it somewhere north of 90% of all kops NEVER are in a situation where they have to draw their guns... so, NO, they are not ALL being exposed to incredibly dangerous situations daily... fact of the matter is, the absolute WORST situation kops hate to respond to, AND where there is a higher likelihood of some bad outcome, are 'domestic disturbances', not a crack ho, or gangbanger...
...i'm sure he'll be 'thanked' by some sort of legal threat, or charged with abusing the system, or otherwise punished for exposing the graft of his betters...
like night follows day, so persecution follows exposure of the crimes of our 'superiors'...
does ANYONE in aw-thor-i-tie EVER give this retarded crap one seconds thought ? ? ? it has come to the point where they don't bother, BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO THEIR "MIGHT MAKES RIGHT" abilities...
'idiots' is right on the money...
(however, you, me, everyone KNOWS it won't change shit, will it? this guy could win multi-millions, the supremes slap the kops down, and they would STILL do this shit...)
annoyingly enough, got a new box a while back which had win8 on it, with no choice to 'downgrade' (read: upgrade) to win7; *then*, after was having some probs with SWMBO 'puter not connecting/sharing with win8 machine, read that an update to win8.1 might fix problem... so -RELUCTANTLY- updated win8 to win8.1 and -besides not fixing network problems which i later resolved in a different manner- it also changed -WITHOUT A CHOICE- my login so it used my idiotic 'microsoft' account (which i was basically TRICKED into establishing when i downloaded some MS programming s/w), instead of my original non-microsoft login... fuckers a quick search has not given me the info to 'downgrade' my login to just be a 'plain' login, and not have microsoft looking over my shoulder through 'their' account... fuckers, i hate them all...
"Pincus did a better job of trying to slow the rush to war than Glenn Greenwald, Marcos Moulitsas and all the other bloggers combined (myself included)."
?que? just how did that 'slowing' the rush to war work out, exactly ? ? ?
further, i SERIOUSLY doubt 90-99% of the people who were protesting against the illegal invasion of iraq, know SHIT about pincus, but i bet most of them had heard of -and been influenced by- greenwald and moulitsas ( as much of a demo-shill as he has become)...
even further, i give NO QUARTER to a spook-shill who has been plumping for them for DECADES... fuck him with a backwards pine cone...
WHERE in the constitution -or anywhere else- is there some authorization for 'Executive Orders' and/or 'signing statements' ? ? ?
would *SOMEONE* please tell me ? ? ?
(NEVERMIND 'SECRET' Executive Orders/signing statements, that's just TOTAL bullshit from start to end...)
the VERY PRINCIPLE of these aconstitutional actions TOTALLY undermines the whole existence of small-dee democracy...
i mean, mike rightfully upbraided someone for going full-paranoid, and saying choco jesu is close to declaring himself dictator-for-life; but when we are allowing dictator-like powers like this to substitute for democracy... given that, i'm not sure how far away from a dictatorship we already are ! ! !
you give the slightest credence to idiotic scaremongering of gummint kreeps...
you go out of your way to make excuses for authoritarians making our lives a living hell for ZERO return...
you 'see their point' on marginal crap that has close to ZERO chance of happening, yet proscribe your whole life based on the fears OF OTHERS...
for dog's sake: stop cowering, sheeple, walk upright on your hind legs and pretend you're an autonomous human bean with rights and some last vestige of pride, bare your fangs at pettifogging authorities ! ! !
