I hope they give him the full 20 years (though unlikely they will).

He's white don't count on it.

Sure, I understand your feelings. I do agree that your goals are worthy ones. My problem is that I principally differ from the methods implied.

Indeed. Your first priority is quite clear: the preservation of private property rights, the profit motive, and protection of the allegedly "invisible hand" of the capitalist market system. The interests of humanity which, in this instance, are sufferers of AIDS, are at best of second priority to the preservation of the integrity of your beloved free market. Humans and human interests take a back seat to the profit-motive. If that's the philosophy you want to embrace, that's your business, but don't feign sympathy for those negatively affected by it.

Did you even read Santander's response? The prices being put so high created an alternative that ruined the company's profits thereof within months.

Discussion and argument when the principles dividing the two sides are clear and unbridgeable strikes one as rather pointless.

Good point.

"Cathcon is an idiot."

End of discussion.

( couldn't resist)

Your point? My detachment from reality is not a matter of debate here, nor is your insolence.

For a cynic who doesn't care about anyone else or even himself, you sure are defensive.
