I do upon occasion read news in print or more sparingly read it on line. For the most part "news" isn't even news, it's gossip and propaganda. Plus, it either depresses or angers me, and we all know I DONT NEED MORE ANGER.
I will share with you this piece of propaganda I read recently from the BBC.
The story states that the U.S. will soon be taking action against on-line pharmacies and their practice of either offering expired or bogus pharmaceuticals.
This is the basic premise of the story, which I agree that the amount of pharmacy spam we all seem to hear about and the operation of unlicensed pharmacies is a valid thing to be concerned about. The meat of this article to me is this quote, "Those who sell prescription drugs online without a valid prescription are operating illegally, undercutting the laws that were put in place to protect patients, and are thereby endangering the public health," said Victoria Espinel, US intellectual property enforcement co-ordinator, in a statement.
Anybody get that?! It's not the quote itself, but the person making the quote. Still don't get it?! Ok, U.S. CO-ORDINATOR OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ENFORCEMENT... Still not sure what I'm on about?
How could anyone readily accept a statement like that? Telling us that undercutting laws put in place to protect patients is the prime directive; when it's being spoken by someone that clearly has a different job to perform altogether?! Her job isn't to worry about patient health!!! Her fucking job seems to have more to do with protecting patents, hence her goddamn title! MAYBE SHE DID SAY PATENTS AND WAS MISQUOTED? bwahahahaaa!!! Prolly not!
And what does that usually entail these days!???? PROTECTING SOME LARGE CORPORATION, that really doesn't need so much protection in today's environment , FROM LOOSING OUT ON A FEW MORE QUADRUPLE BILLION DOLLARS IT NEEDS TO BETTER QWELL OUR MINDS INTO SUBMISSION!!
People really need to pay attention to this sort of asshollery and at the very least take note of it or, better yet call BULLSHIT on reporting like this! News needs to be critical of such things! There are too many non-thinkers around already and we don't need to incubate more for god sake! People! Listen, you may think I'm whacky, crazy, funny, not funny, stupid, boring, or many other descriptors; but you need to understand what's going on here! This isn't an aberration or is it just about this illustration at all!
It's a bit off topic, not really, but do you know what's about to get passed by congress in the very near future? Something that, I would hope would cause us all outrage. I've talked about it before... NET NEUTRALITY! And do you know where your going to see things happen first?!? Do you have a smart phone?! Do you like how much info and freedom it's given you?!? Well, get ready to have a data charge tacked on if you like to say, use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
Courtesy of those lovable Teddy Bears known as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and surprisingly... Google!
Although they would seem to be shooting themselves in the foot to have a YouTube fee tacked on to every phone users account, unlessssss.... They know something we don't know... I could personally not care two solid brass shits if they taxed and surcharged those three I just named till they sink into oblivion. But I would be against that happening for the sake of the greater freedom to have an open, non-channelled, bottle-necked web, than the alternative!
I do digress somewhat...
The point is this really; WE, that means YOU AND I, need to get our heads out of the sand and stop this buffoonery from multiplying exponentially till all of a sudden, instead of staring at it on your tv screen or that monitor, or phone... We really will be SOYLENT GREEN!
Whatcha gonna do about it???
That's fine back to your favorite Stupor Bowl commercial brought to you by HitlerYouthOldNavyPepsiAstrazenophobiaCorp!
