The Retarded Superheroes Cave

The PNAC(Project for a New American Century)
Project for the New American Century
is a group started by Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld. These esteemed American Patriots, who have contributed immensly to their society i.e. their bank accounts, decided that America should be THE global power. According to their goals, Global Leadership requires military strength, along with diplomatic energy, and commitment to moral principle. In my opinion, these people forgot what a country is for. Attempting to implement their worldview behind the eyes of even their own citizens just reeks. They use the name America as more of a corporation name, used for getting things done, or bullying smaller more frail nations. The United States of America may be extremely powerful in many ways, but in many ways we are a society that is slowing down compared to the modern world. The world is changing, and America will not always be Number 1. We can either accept our place in the world, or we can try to remain a global superpower by running up the slippery slope that has been well traveled by past republics. We are aging fast, and turning away from what makes us unique, and that is our freedoms.

Everything has been said best before so……Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. - John F. Kennedy

“In fewer than 4,000 days, we have encoded half a trillion versions of our collective story and put them in front of 1 billion people, or one-sixth of the world’s population. That remarkable achievement was not in anyone’s 10-year plan.”
-Kevin Kelly in Wired

I Love People!

An interesting case has opened in Angleton, Texas, Friday. A major drug company, Merck, has been accused of trying to turn a profit, regardless of safety of the public. The popular chemical medicine Vioxx, was used much the same way an Advil or Aspirin is. The claim that a small number (3,800+) of human beings brought against the beast of medicine, Merck, is that it caused more pain than it eased. The company is accused of shady dealing’s with their research and many other things that could rapidly increase their profit in the short term. Prosecuting lawyer Mark Lanier is attacking the reeky beast of medicine Merck, with claims that the company knew Vioxx could increase risk of heart attack and stroke before a published study showed that exact point, and morphing research so they could get a pill to a growing market, so as to capitalize on their opportunity.
The target of the public’s ire is a man by the name of Ray Gilmartin. He is the former immoral leader of the soulless Merck. This man has no medical background, and used his Harvard Business Paper to get the CEO spot at Merck in 1994. His goal was to make money, and as much as possible. Also he wanted to make money off of human suffering, and if at all possible, create some of his own. To his credit, he met his goals.
Vioxx is listed in the same class as ibuprofren and aspirin, and it‚Äôs claim to fame is that it cut‚Äôs the risk of internal bleeding, which is possible with the other drugs in it‚Äôs class. The problem is that Vioxx can potentially do things to you that are a small amount worse than stomach bleeding, such as heart attack–not fun, and death. Puppet boy and defense lawyer David Kiernan is doing his best to maintain the image put forth my Merck, who‚Äôs motto is ‚ÄúGood Things Happen When You Put People First‚Äù. It appears that Mr. Gilmartin‚Äôs good intentions and judgment was clouded by greed, but I wish him and his 3,800 and counting patients very well, and I hope that he will make things right. The case continues on Monday the 18th. Chiggity check yourself before you wreck yourself.
