How many people are you willing to sacrifice to poor drugs? The problem with your fanaticism with deregulation is many people would get hurt and even die. Most of us do not want that to happen you obviously do not care and you are entitled to your opinion no matter how misguided you are. The free market would in the end get rid of the bad companies but how many people would get hurt in the meantime? Again like our earlier debate you just do not care about anybodies welfare but your own.
How many banks have collapsed in Canada? Ever? None. compare that to the USA were they have much fewer regulations. That is a compromise most reasonable people are more than willing to deal with. Why aren't you. Does your fanaticism get in the way? Bet it does.
If there was no government controls about copying drugs pioneered by other companies the price of all existing would drugs would fall dramatically. On the other hand new drugs would become very rare. If you take away government controls on testing new drugs then the market would be flooded with a plethora of new dangerous drugs. Sure we would figure out in the end which ones worked well which ones killed people but at what price? How many souls are you willing to sacrifice on this altar? Yours? Your Mom's? Your Wife's? Your Kid's? Or just everyhody else's?
The difference between you and every body else posting is we are not fanatics and we don't want to live in a Somalia like country. You must, because it is exactly what you are always spouting off about the total lack of government controls and the ultimate free market economy.
