I used to be sympathetic to the drug companies thinking they spent massive
amounts on research and development. I read an article the other day that
said they spend an average of 18 percent on R&D and 28 percent on
advertising and management perks. Nice. Sympathy is in the
dictionary....about half way between shit and syphilis. /jim

Walt, who's not a bit cynical. Hah!
