Great news- Was just catching up on Twitter and delighted to see the sympathetic reports
So little from the UK though, dreadful, really ashamed of those here who should be supportive – what is their excuse now I wonder ?

“Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.” – Archimedes

We have a place to stand and a lever, so now let’s all heave!

I will kick this snowball off the top of the mountain if it’s the last thing I ever do. We’ve all pushed it up to the top – it will be fun watching to roll on down….

Well, when I want to “lever” something, I get right down underneath it.
Tasmania is about a far underneath as you can get.
Doc, you’ve got the leverage.
We will help you push.

I wonder how many miguided souls have died getting her hugs instead of generic drugs.

It is in the quotes section but this one from JFK bears repeating:

“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie–deliberate, contrived and dishonest–but the myth–persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought”

– JKF Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962

Gilead are charging outrageous prices for an inexpensive medication they did not invent. They do not even pay their taxes. Citizen payers are dying due to their pure unadulterated greed.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-26/gilead-avoids-billions-in-u-s-taxes-on-its-1-000-a-pill-drug

Anybody who sees this as acceptable lacks capacity for rational thought.
