Everything that appears "Stupid" on the surface
is really greed based underneath. Every single decision Bush has made that everyone commonly thinks of as stupid was actually a payback for those that elected him-those evil corporate bastards! Just think of anything...all you need to do is follow the moolah!

Example: Do you think it was religion that caused Bush to nix anything to do with Stem Cell Research? NO! Stem Cell Research by all accounts, will lead to astonishing developments in health and CURE some diseases and various ailments when allowed to come to fruition. BECAUSE it will abolish the need for meds-well guess what-BIG PHARMA will be hurtin'!!!! They'll lose bilions of dollars! We can't have that! No, let everyone be a slave to disease, and don't offer them anything that will HELP them-Gawd-No!!

Just follow the path of greed and you will be able to put two and two. Bush has always known exactly what he was doing! "Dumbya" is a front!

Go ahead-name some other examples!

1. "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you....fool me twice, can't get fooled again.
That's not greed, it's pure stupidity.

2. I heard the same thing many years ago about cancer. Cancer is a
very large money maker. I no longer do the Komen Run, it sickens me. All I can think of is my poor mother and what this dreadful disease did to her. You can't tell me with all of the money and time spent in research there isn't some cures/easier treatments out there for breast cancer.

4. There is.
Lots of rainforest herbs(that have been hushed) and basic extreme nutritional therapies,but mds aren't trained in natural approaches,And it's not lucrative for them- and watch out- there are some MAD scientists that would love to pounce on replies like these, because it is against the law to make a claim that such and such cures so and so. What is Komen Run?

5. Yes, I have heard of those. Pharma doesn't want us to know about them
as you say. Susan Komen (sister to Nancy Brinker) died of breast cancer and Ms. Brinker started this Run for the Cure (Komen 5K Run) held here and many other places each year. Many, many dollars donated and many, many dollars to administrative ovehead. I looked at their budget one time and became totally disgusted. Thanks for your info, God forbid I should ever need it..

7. Bullshit
Would you like to tell me how these herbs are gonna cure genetic defects that are being linked to breast cancer?
You do know what a damn GENE is don't you? DNA?
Would you like to show peer reviewed data? By the way these "nutriional therapies" are being studied..Its been proved that shark cartiledge for instance is CRAP. However there is a big vitamin C study and cancer going on now. Isn't that what woos like you always insist is a cure?
It is agaisnt the law to sell snake oil. people who kill people with false cures/sugar pills are the scum of the earth and need to be locked up.

12. I actually may agree with you about shark cartilage,
really I haven't seen it advertised in years, so I wonder where you get that hot off the press news. I don't appreciate the name-calling. If you don't cut it out I will start calling you a witch with a B! Now, it isn't recent news about Vit. C either. Look, you obviously don't read up to date cutting edge nutritional science journals, or you would know more up to date info. Likewise, I don't read the kind of journals you do. I respect that you are more informed about your side of things. You seem to want to dispel everything that isn't synthetic. I'm blown away that you even believe in Vit. C.-but it is quite old news! And furthermore, why would anyone buy a herb, let's say, without researching it thoroughly themselves, to see if it is right for them! The Vitamin store salesmen are not scum of the earth!

13. Don't even get me started on vitamin EG.
Ethylene glycol. The pharma companies taint it with foul tasting chemicals so you won't drink it. They're even pushing laws over this! The pure stuff is very sweet, just like nature intended.

8. Try some research on genetics and cell receptors
There are *many* causes of breast cancer including genetic defects. There are now vaccines to prevent and actually treat some types of tumors. You really think that cancer is a simple cure? God this is why scientists are always banging their heads agaisnt the wall because people don't actually try to understand the science, they just scream for the "magic pill". Cancer is NOT a simple disease nor is he biology associated with it simple.

10. I hear the chemtrail industry rakes it in.
First they give you cancer, then they charge an arm and a leg for those mercury laden cancer vaccines.

3. Capitalism is about greed; royals morphed into capitalists --- !!!
Capitalism is a "ridiculous King-of-the-Hill System" . . .

and as we have seen, it works well to do what it's designed to do ---

make a few people rich --- impoverish the rest!

6. About your Big Pharma theory
You do know there are ENTIRE biotech companies and divisions in the Pharma companies working on Stem cell research right?
Theres actually ALOT of private money being poured into stem cell work..I used to work for a big biotech based in California doing a lot of it.
Why do you keep ignoring the fact that pharma companies do a lot of disease prevention ...VACCINES.
Stop being so paranoid. Sheesh.

9. Okay??
Paranoid! I'm not paranoid enuff to ever take part in dangerous vaccines- such as the small pox one you posted you took part in! Talk about russian roulette! I don't believe everything doctors say, or Big Pharma plugs!.. Speaking of vaccines...I read some very disturbing info on the origins of "POLIO" ... I bet you would be interested in that. ...I may post it if I have time. Thanks for informing me that stem cell research is actually happening for real. Please calm down. I think you need a hug!
