  on At The Behest Of Big Pharma, US Threatens Colombia Over Compulsory Licensing Of Swiss Drug
  If this statement...
  
  "Liang Hong, one of the GSK executives....was quoted by China’s state-run media as saying that the costs of the bribes were eventually wrapped up into the price of medicines, accounting for up to 30% of a drug’s final price"...
  
  ....is true in China, how much more so in every other country in the world?
  
  The majority of drug companies really need to be turned upside down, torn apart, and exposed for the crimes they commit against humanity.
  
  You only have to talk to the relatives of those who've died as a direct result of not being able to afford vital medicines (or died of exposure to biological weapons - and who creates those?), to reach that conclusion.
  
  Let's not kid ourselves.

  And there's also this, from back in 2013, lest it be forgotten: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/chinas-bitter-medicine-foreign-drug-companies/
  
  Needs many, many, more countries to follow suit because this bs is still going on globally.

  on Local Fox Affiliate's Reaction To Brutal Police Beating Is A Dereliction Of Its Duty
  This is classic Rupert Murdoch tactics - a heartless, unconscionable bastard only interested in cash grabs, not truth or justice or equality - and certainly not compassion.
  
  Meh. The old fart will be dead soon enough. Maybe then, at least, some forms of media will finally be allowed to clean their act up.
  
  As for me, I threw out my tv years ago, stopped buying newspapers and magazines and stopped turning on the radio. It's amazing how much more calm life became after that.
  
  I can think without being told what to think, clothe myself without being told what to wear, can have my own opinions without being told what they 'should' be and, most importantly, I'm not force fed a constant stream of violent images labelled 'news' as a source of 'entertainment' - which is how Murdoch - disgustingly - sees all such tragedies.
  
  It was my personal form of protest against the likes of the Murdochs in the world.
