It is possible that big Pharma is profiteering, and if so it is more destructive than most any other corporate interest group.
I disagree with the drugging of children, and with the making of aspects of human life into a mental disorder. Giving someone mood altering drugs because they are not ecstatic all the time makes depression a sickness, where I think it is part of life. High level depression and anxiety can be a problem, but not everyday stress...
Then there is the point I also made about the failure to constructively solve the problem that is endemic in the industry. That these drug companies don't ask what it is that makes children hyperactive, they just drug them to treat the symptoms, thereby making a lifelong client.
You can try to make it sound like I am accusing you guys of saying that they should not be liable for criminal activity, and call it a traw man, but that in itslef would be a straw man.
Please, debate whether or not the Pharma industry is exhibiting constructive problem solving or not. Please debate whether the long list of companies in the article are being sued, mostly for offering medication for illnesses it was not tested for. Please debate whether on not Baxter did have it's two recent "accidents", and whether the media should have told us, and the legislation should have done something.
Or just write little farts of rhetoric, about straw men and eyes for eyes.
But then don't pretend I'm losing this argument.
