Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 > Dear Evonne... Bare with me for a second... And if that is too much, then skip to the very last paragraph and see what you can do to make this work for you... I distinctly remember the issue of not allowing US citizens to choose to buy Canadian prescriptions as an election issue this last presidential election. But, if that is not a polished enough example, have you seen the mark up's for American prescription drugs? It is somewhere here on the list, but the basic idea is that most companies are happy with a reasonable mark up, oh say 10-30% mark up, but drug companies have like a 1000% mark up... Something that costs them a penny, they sell for a hundred dollars. Then of course is the infamous article by the Journal of the American Medical Association that reported that allopathic medicine, medicine from your average MD, is the 4th leading cause of death in the US. As far as seedless grapes... Perhaps you have not heard what I am talking about. Imagine being an organic farmer. Your entire income, your life and the life of your family is based on healthy, organic farming. Monsanto plants acreage of genetically modified crops 1/2 mile down the road. The wind, the birds, the bees cross pollinate the two different fields, and your crop is contaminated by the genetic mutilations of Monsanto. Can you sue Monsanto for ruining your now no longer organic crop? Can you sue for the damage that their reckless use of genetically modified crops has caused? NO. And not just no, but you will be sued by Monsanto to pay them for using their patented modified plant genes without authorization, without paying for the right to use those genes. Think you have stepped onto another planet? Now consider that this is not a fairy tale, but a real case that has been taken to the Supreme Court- the verdict- on the side of Monsanto. The farmer had to pay Monsanto. Can you imagine the impact this has on farmers everywhere- is it just easier to buy the darn GM seed than face the fines and penalties if it is found (unwanted) in their crops, on the lasting availability of organic food, on the potential of a small handful of people owning the rights to food?! Now you have not answered the one question of mine- the only one I have asked you. Are these issues of health or politics? As far as the WTC- it is the only building of it's type, I can't find my 911 book just now, but do some research and you will find that buildings like this, steel re-enforced I believe, have never, ever fallen without controlled demolition. Been on fire for days, higher heat even, but have never just collapsed- and most definitely not into dust. Just find a good 911 book and just do some research- prove me wrong if you need to. But put the science away for a second, also on this list is a link to listen to the actual guy, then in charge of the WTC, admit on a documentary- a mainstream documentary at that, that he authorized the building to be " pulled " . Jargon that means controlled demolition. Take that in- he admits it was controlled demolition. Now, that is not something that can just be set up, in an afternoon, an hour- who set it up and when- and WHY? If 911 is not all that it appears- what else is not as it seems? If 911 is not on the up and up- how many have died: in 911, in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in our US military- and for what? How about their loved ones, the ones they leave behind- or those who will look after them with their physical and mental and emotional injuries which may take years, if not a lifetime, to recover from... In the face of this death, dying, suffering and misery I find it hard to focus on which form of calcium is most absorbed. And your right, in the over 4,500+ articles in the last 4 years, I forgot your post on salt. You may find that topic more meaninful than global suffering- which is fine... So, great, post more about it. Help become what you want it to be... Have you heard the story about Stone soup? Basically, at the start, there is a village in which no one wanted to share what little reserves of food they had, until one day a man came along and was going to teach them how to make stone soup. Being as hungry as they were, they were intrigued. So with much to do he produced a large soup pot and ceremoniously filled it with water and then stones.. Oh, this soup is so good, so good indeed, but if we only had a little bit of onion. So someone fetches a well hidden onion. And it is added to the soup. Then, oh, this soup is so good, so good indeed, but if we only had a few potatoes. So someone else fetches their few potatoes to add to the soup. On and on this goes until the whole community dines on one of the most wonderful soups they ever shared.
