Look...I know it's been a while since we last spoke...
It's been a very busy week or two (or however long it's been)...my wife's surgery went very well and the radio show has been very busy with Uday and Qusay news...also the Pharmaceutical Market Access Act of 2003. Silly legislation, really, it would allow the re-importation of prescription drugs that we export to other countries. Let me get this straight...US companies research the drug, develop the drug, produce the drug, market the drug, test the drug, and we export to Canada only to re-import them into the US to make them cheaper? What are we really importing? Price controls, folks...
I just wish people would get off the "knee jerk reaction because the Democrats told me so" logic and actually listen to the debate. Here's an example of some of the stupid emails I'm getting after taking a stand against what is now a perceived right, "The right to cheap anything as long as I feel good about it"

Your idea of Market Place Competition in the US Drug arena is strange.
There is no Honest Competition in the US and you incessant blabbering about the why the costs of drugs and the marketplace is just so much nonsense. The Drug industry is a protected industry by Law, so a fair price for drugs in this country isn't an option. The Drug Industry Lobbied and had a very good law passed so that they can rape the US Citizens.
See: Perscription Drug Marketing Act 1987...
Here again you babble with your emotions and no knowledge what-so-ever about what you speak.

My Response:
Yeah, but I CAN use a dictionary, spell checker and proper grammar.
Your incomprehensible scribe is noted and dismissed as usual left wing nonsense. Thanks for writing, though. Good luck with your "perscriptions (sic)."
