BIG PHARMAâS CRIME SPREE
,----[ Quote ]
| Rather than having a deterrent effect, the
| number of Big Pharma high profile criminal
| settlements is increasing and the
| settlements are getting bigger. BIG PHARMAâS
| CRIME SPREE is a riveting report by David
| Evans in the current issue of Bloomberg
| Markets Magazine relying on recent criminal
| legal settlements. It leaves no doubt about
| the fact that Big Pharmaâs business
| practices are defined by criminal
| activities.

Possible MS Breakthrough Neglected By American Media
,----[ Quote ]
| Folks who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis are
| not really a rowdy bunch. Activism and
| outrage are hard to muster for the
| chronically fatigued. But since
| Thanksgiving, people with MS and their loved
| ones have gone all ACT-UP 2.0.
|
| That is, the past few weeks have seen a
| surge in online activity within the MS
| community - as bloggers, vloggers and forum
| posters are calling one another to action in
| response to the lack of response to what
| many perceive to the scientific breakthrough
| they've been waiting for.

Monsanto: Making Microsoft Look Good
,----[ Quote ]
| Do genetically-modified seeds bring
| increased productivity? There seem doubts;
| but even assuming it's true, Gates sets up a
| false dichotomy: one reason GMO seeds aren't
| sustainable is because they are patented.
| That is, farmers *must* buy them year after
| year, and can't produce their own seeds.
| It's a situation that's relatively easy to
| solve: make GMOs patent-free; do not place
| restrictions on their use; let farmers do
| what farmers have done for millennia.
|
| And look, there you have it, potentially: productivity and
| sustainability. But we won't get that, not because the idealistic
| environmentalist are blocking it, but because the seed industry
| wants farmers dependent on their technology, not liberated
| by it. It is sheer hypocrisy for a fan of patents to
| accuse environmentalists of being the obstacle to
| productivity and sustainability: that would be the
| industrial model of dependence, enforced by
| intellectual monopolies, and espoused by big
| companies like Monsanto, the Microsoft of
| plant software.
