Mark Sauder reports on Bailout

[armyda]

They are allowed to sell them in the USA, they don't.

and it isn't other companies manufacturing cheaper drugs. The same USA company will take the same medication they sell in this country, take it to Canada and sell it for a cheaper price.

[freemind]

"They do us cheaper" Are you Canadian?''

How about if I wrote it this way:

2 The US manufacters sell them the same drugs cheaper. Cheaper than they sell them to us, in the USA.

Freemind,

You, seem to rejoice in the fact that other countries are rewarded by the cloning & reproduction of US Medicines paid for by American Citizens and their taxes and good will charities.

Americans do strive to help others worldwide who are in need. We do NOT take to people who presume we are their free ticket to the new world. We have worked hard for our status. Are you capable? Are you there? Or are you simply looking for the cheapest drugs on the world market?

If cheapest drugs are where you are focusing - create new labs in new countries without the qualitity controls required in the USA. And may you find forgiveness for your priorities with your maker (whom ever that may be).

Rejoice? PLEASE..... I don't rejoice about it. I do reconize the fact though.

Please don't tell me about what "Americans" do. I know. I have been an American all my life.

Sleeping pills acting up again?

Just to clarify something: Canadians are Americans, Mexicans are Americans, Brazilians are Americans, Ecuadorians are Americans. Does this make the point or do I need to go on?

No, no sleeping pills tonight Freemind. Yes, I've am an American born here for 60+ yrs.

Your perspectives, leave me unsure where your aligence may be. I will take you for your word.

And Lennox Lewis is not an african-american. We gets it, mang.

Yes, You all be American's. NOT citizens of the USA but members of the AMERICAN continents.

I'm pretty sure you have a point - want to clarify?

Just that they are all Americans

My allegence lays to God, country and family.
My "heros" are those old dead white guys, I refer to as the founders. IS that not obvious?

Too bad you don't count as a hero the first person that was killed in the "American Revolution"

Freemind,

Your opinions are obvious to me. Why do you say "old dead white guys"? What about the "old dead black guys" who died fighting for their white families & their own Black families? Shall we dismiss these? Or does God, County and family only include "white guys" in your world?

I think you may be reading a bit more into it than he meant.

The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were all white - of course, because black people were oppressed by white people at the time.

People of color - and women as well - did make contributions, but the primary movers and shakers - Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, etc. - were white males. NOT because there was anything inherently wrong with being black or female, but because society at that time did not allow them to be more involved than they were. Obviously, we've come a ways since then.

Heh, you're preaching to the choir with me, Arm.

It's taken me years, but after realizing how arrogant it is of this country to refer to itself as "America", as if it's the only country in the entire Western Hemisphere that can refer to itself that way, I've tried very hard to alter my manner of speech.

It's difficult at times, though, and sometimes I'll use "Americans" to define us if I'm trying to make a point.

But yeah, I'm anal enough that it bugs me a lot to hear people refer to themselves as "Americans" while thinking of Mexicans as strange, weird people WAYYYYYY down there, like the southern part of the continent was on Mars.

Ever read Dave Barry Slept Here?

This is only funny if you read the book; if not, you won't see anything humorous if I have to explain it.

I've got several of his books - I used to love his column back when I got the Chicago Tribune - but I haven't read that one. I'll have to see if I can find a copy.

Booger journalism rocks.

Booger journalism AND exploding whales, thank you.

Pity he has the marital scruples of an alley cat with ten sets of genitals... I still love him, though.

I still think of him every time October 8 rolls around.

James,
I respect you - But you disappoint me on this one - I am a granddaughter of the south. I know from personal experience how the black who worked on my Mother's family farm were treated. NO - I am NOT reading more into this than I should. I know what the black people went thru. I witnessed southern Doctors injecting syphillis into negro men to test how the the disease progressed in them. Do you know why they stood in a line in Athens, Georgia? That line wrapped around the medical center a couple blocks from the University of Georgia. Those men did this because they received food to feed their children after the 'White men they worked for all week didn't give them their paychecks'.

Why did the White men not pay them? (this was AFTER slavery - because no one in Georgia enforced it(paychecks.) At least their families still had a little shack to live in on stilts. I am SO VERY TIRED of people who were educated in the North telling me what happened in the South during the period I grew up down there.

I am an old white woman. I am telling you the absolute truth. Call me a person who loves the Blacks and I will tell you... I have never had a relationship other than watching them suffer on my Grandparents farm outside of Athens, Georgia. My husband, my children, and my grandchildren are White. The truth of what happened during that time is EXACTLY what it was.

James, people in the North have no clue what these poor people suffered and endured. I lived in Indiana 9 months of the year and 3 months in the summer with my Grandparents in Athens. It was NOT good for the Black People in the late 60's & before. We can discuss that Female battle another time.
