COMMENT:
George, you just wasted a whole post with off-topic comments about
global warming. If you think some site is "right wing" and you don't
think the "right wing" is right about global warming, then THEREFORE
you think this gives you carte blanche to simply ignore all opinions
you find there as propaganda? Say what?
If I find some medical-economic information on a site that seems "left
wing," and I think the "left wing" is out to lunch about the value of
nuclear energy (except of course in France), does that mean I can
safely disregard their medico-economic opinions also?
Look, I've read that the French spend more per capita than the US does
on pharmaceuticals, now, from many sources. I just gave you the most
conventient one I came across in a google search. If you disagree,
don't just express skepticism, post a source of your own that claims
the opposite. I doubt you can find one, but have at it. I think this
"factoid" is true. It doesn't matter if you're left or right, this is
basic data. Interpret it however you like.
