Thank You Peter Jennings!!!
ABC's report was so very much needed.
It gives new meaning to our definition of the 'war on drugs'.
The only problem is, as Mr. Jennings' final words acknoweledged that the problem of profit-based pharmaceutical company influence over drug pricing, developement and advertising will only end when Congress and the President take policy changing measures, is that Bush is only President because of drug company campaign funding...
We're asking W to bite the hand that feeds him.
Only when overwhelming public outcry forces the House and Senate to enact major campaign finance reform will an end to this debilitating cycle of destruction be in sight.
The Ken Lays (Eli Lilly boardmember, $700,000 to the Bush election campaign) of the world should not be allowed to buy themselves a President.
