And I love the included quote: "Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit..."

Too true, all of it. Big Pharma now invents "medical conditions" to match the effects of developed drugs (prescription drugs) that didn't do what they were developed to do.

And the super-hot prescription (Viagra) is being bought for a side effect. (It has its very own website.)

Corporate lootocracy, pure and simple. -- They have already largely subverted the government, legislative and executive (including the watchdogs), to their ends. And now they want to get a good grip on that last troublesome branch of government -- the judicial.

And one can only surmise that the same thing is going on across the board, this only being a little harder to see sometimes (in the case of other corporate interests).

Every part of the neocon agenda is complete bs. Their agenda really only benefits those that are in a position to smash, grab and run (from responsibility and accountability). -- Everyone else is being played for a chump.
