You should take a look at what Brazil has done. As I mentioned in an
earlier post, they nationalized all the AIDS drugs and made generic
copies which they distributed to all AIDS patients for free.
Hi, Eric,
Yes, I read that article. It was, truly, a step of courage (in many
respects) for the Brazilian government to say 'no' to the US AID money. (AID
money
for AIDS <g> Sorry, it just makes me smile every time I think of that...so
little entertains me sometimes!)
I think it really shows, on both accounts, that it is possible to help and
do 'good' if one is committed to doing so.
Yes, I know we might as well consider it that rapture time if something
happens. We saw an inkling with the flu shot issue. Something really awful
that
strikes a number of so many...yes.
I don't know what to do about the direction our nation is taking except to
do what I can with what I have for who I can. And, to step back and
watch--wondering how long it will take for someone(s) to realize that things
are not
going in a very healthy-for-all-of us-including ourselves--direction.
Since 'revolution' and such along with the '60s' is such a *bad* term for so
many (at least here), I don't know who and how things will change.
Thinking I probably ought to get some rest,
Marlena in Missouri
