Time was that the Government approved drugs based on its own research. The Republicans, ever on the hunt to complain about paying for honest cops, made a big deal about how such research was wasting taxpayers money. The Big drug companies could do it without charging the taxpayers anything. So government Research was defunded, and the Drug companies got a chance to spin the research how they wanted.
Now that prices are way over the top, the same Drug companies are saying that they have to charge outrageous prices (to Americans only) to fund all that research.
So we get Biased research and still pay for it, but those anti-tax folk are nowhere to be seen.suprise suprise.
Future folk will look back and wonder "What were those people thinking? Wasn't anyone minding the store?"
Isn't this a laugh? No administration in history
has played the press better than this one. How else
to explain the lack of tough questions after 9/11
and the two wars? And where does Rummy appear? With
Rush. Sometimes on Fox. With outlets like that in
the mainstream, who needs a propaganda department?
I've seen the ads on AFN Korea (Air Force Network Korea) where, instead of commercials, troops are usually carpet bombed with Weapons of Mass Distraction (all major sports, series, games...), pearls of wisdom (don't pick your nose, brush your teeth and keep ready for war), morale lifting injections (you serve a great country, learn more about things that shaped Amerika in your public library), and Pure Pentagon Propaganda.
"America Supports You" belongs to the last two categories. People from the street tell their love of what you guys are doin' and like in Sesame Street, they come in all shapes and colors because they are the American melting pot. Here, it's very easy being green, especially a green beret or a Vietnam vet, provided you support Rummy's doctrine with a smile on your face.
I don't know how the said troops react to these shorties. To me they sound like a compulsory long distance feelgood call, a sad farewell - thank you for taking the bullets overthere, we sure do appreciate what you do even if we don't quite get why you do it, but we're much better safe at home, thank you. I'll put a flag on my lawn right away to keep the bad luck outta my place - praise God my son is not among you.
The program is supposed to bring America closer to its military but it exposes how Dubya's Amerika is far away from its own troops. I tell you what Don : America doesn't support you
