Is There Profit In Tree Hugging?

what cracks me up about the whole dbate is how the otherwise rational gas guzzling meat eaters defend their foolish, wasteful and toxic consumption patterns; there's just no common sense to hanging on to outmoded ways of living. now i dont smell like patchouli and i certainly dont give a rat's ass about al gore and the like with their climate change or peak oil; you all are missing the point arguing assinine technicalities as forces totally independent of your understanding are meanwhile busy coercing a change of the Market as we know it even if the pace seems glacial

Pfizer’s Celebrex: Mass Tort Madness

There's two sides to every coin. But as in every dilemma there's always the third option. I have little faith in the pharmaceutical industry who see humans as passive pieces of physiology and a literal playground for their huge profit making enterprises. The mass tort industry is equally as greedy but nonetheless appears to be the only institution incentivized to hold drug makers accountable (the FDA as with most government agencies are for all intents and purposes a rubberstamp for special interests). The third option would involve a highly insulated transparent layer of impartial, objective professionals from law and medicine to decide the safety of certain types of high risk category drugs. Too bad Arthur Liman is no longer with us.
