    Everyone has been paying attention to Hillary
    At the moment, a choice between her and any of the "R" frontrunners is a walkaway "Give the Keys to Hillary" contest.
    But some people like making a statement to scare the establishment
    Kind of like the Nader voters in 2000 who made Florida competitive enough to steal.

    I agree, non exclusivity means competition means lower prices....thus serving best the public good (required in corporate charters).
    It saddens me to hear that once again, breakthrough science, usually paid out of the public wheal, will be used to maximize profits while people die...again.

    Ever watch a Cancer patient die?
    I have. I listened to her cry, and whimper, and finally scream until she had to be sedated into unconsciousness with morphine and I mean a LOT of it.
    If this just DELAYS that final dosing, it would add weeks or months of enjoyable life to those who are dying of such agony.
    Patented? GOOD! Maybe this time the patent rights will be granted to competing entities, allowing for some competition.
    Since these are British researchers, we can so hope, they aren't quite as corrupted as our government funded research.

    Are you one of those who tells the lie that Nazism was socialism despite the fact that nothing socialist in form was enacted into policy or platform...ever?

    So, to return, the failed states all act for individual gain, ex. the child-soldier armies of Sierra Leone. When a state gets to the point where all wealth is in very few hands, the state always collapses into warring factions, with war being the only way to extract wealth from the equivalent of the 1%.

    Sorry, but the fallacies I have mentioned are observed facts.
    As for 'set money aside" thanks to compounding, MOST citizens lost net money from their 401(k) thanks to the 3 lost years of compounding from 2007 - 2009. In the end, a gambling table like Wall Street, with insider trading rampant, is a failure
    And the IRS did in fact conclude that the majority of the rich began with inheritance.
    Add in social inheritance like access to informal Capital networks and you have the G.W. Bush's of the world, who turned family name into wealth by using Eminent Domain, having bankrupted three separate companies, and the RMoney's of the world who made a mint by selling asset hiding and bankruptcy to vitiate contract obligations to workers in the form of Union Retirement Funds emptied by the bankruptcies RMoney created, thanks to his ability to drag hundreds of millions of dollars in 1% money to leverage the debt burdens so as to create the bankruptcies in the first place
    All of libertarianism is based on the false claim that selfishness provides maximum gain for the greatest number.

    SIXTH FALLACY: the liberarian lie that selfish action without restraint is anything but crime
    Freedom only exists in a level field of competition, where a Legacy Bush Yalie has exactly the same probability of reaching billionaire class as a floor sweepers son who graduated City College.
