                              that is a complete falsity - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:54:19

                         Seems like the private market could also do the trials and - hefeweizen MU - 4/23 10:47:58
                              Yes, you want the mouse to guard the cheese. How well - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 10:52:45
                                   How is that? Seems if my testing isnt accurate which leads t - hefeweizen MU - 4/23 10:55:32
                                        Who is checking to see that your testing is accurate? Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 12:21:48
                                        Yep. Pharma would tout your approval to sell the drugs - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:56:18
                              It's like it's impossible to imagine a private drug testing - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:51:08
                         and in the market. - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:45:24
                              Sucks if you're one of the saps to first take it/be - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:45:51
                                   that's why you take your own personal responsibility and - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:47:47
                                        I certainly agree with your last sentence - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:49:09
                                             Of course. Who said they shouldn't take their doctor's - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:49:41
                                                  No one...but if my doctor prescribes some new drug - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:51:12
                                                       i ask a pharmacist, not the doctor (nm) - pickle MU - 4/23 11:14:18
                                                            Okay Larry (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 11:31:19
                                                                 the pharmacist is more knowledgable (nm) - pickle MU - 4/23 11:38:44
                                                            doctor/pharmacist, doctor/pharmacist....hmmmm - hefeweizen MU - 4/23 11:20:59
                                                       Then you must have the ultimate trust in your doctor - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:53:31
                                                            and people get 2nd opinions all the time for things like - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:54:53
                                                       if you don't trust your doctor than find a new doctor(nm) - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:52:45
          As proposed, they wouldn't take effect - Mormad MU - 4/23 10:31:29
     yes, it makes sense - pickle MU - 4/23 10:29:14
          I assume you are still against patents in general nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 10:30:04
               yes, and all IP protections and monopolies - pickle MU - 4/23 10:31:08
                    No shock you support stealing. - RHAYWORTH MU - 4/23 10:40:07
                         it’s not theft. it is impossible to own information - pickle MU - 4/23 10:40:53
                              Bullshyte. Everything at its core, is information. - RHAYWORTH MU - 4/23 11:09:43
                                   don't use my word - ashtray UF - 4/23 11:43:34

                         Isn't it better for you as a consumer to be able to buy - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:43:04
                              I'm not worried about the consumer here. - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:45:09
                                   obviously not (nm) - ashtray UF - 4/23 11:50:03
                                   You should be worried about the consumer. Consumption - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:48:33
                                        At least we agree on something - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:50:45
                                   Why are you not worried about the consumer? - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:48:22
                                        And then they won't buy the product. Demand will go down. - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:53:19
                                             If profit margins are extremely high from patent protection - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:57:35
                                             there is no such thing as price gouging, either - pickle MU - 4/23 10:55:45
                                   what gives an artist the right - pickle MU - 4/23 10:47:10
                                        They only have the rights to the lyrics and singing - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:55:49
                                             they don't have rights to those. - pickle MU - 4/23 11:00:30
                         If someone makes it cheaper - El-ahrairah BAMA - 4/23 10:38:55
                              Maybe, or maybe they just exploited cheaper labor - Mormad MU - 4/23 10:44:53
                                   cheap labor isn’t slavery - El-ahrairah BAMA - 4/23 10:51:32
                                   exploited? - pickle MU - 4/23 10:46:24
                         No they don't, they discourage it - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:38:45
                              Patents do not limit improvements - meatiger MU - 4/23 12:09:31
                              I'd love to read something discussing how patents - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:42:46

                                   and here you go - pickle MU - 4/23 10:50:54
                                   because it stifles competition and innovation and efficiency - pickle MU - 4/23 10:45:07
                                   lol, he just explained it pretty clearly. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:43:31
                         they do not. they discourage innovation - pickle MU - 4/23 10:37:51
                    Yes. Enforced monopolies dont make sense to me. I understand - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 10:35:47
                         So you think people will still innovate - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:38:28
                              yes, you should - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:40:06
                              absolutely there will still be innovation - pickle MU - 4/23 10:40:03
                                   This is an amazing take - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:41:46
                                        because of property rights - pickle MU - 4/23 10:44:04
                                        an earnest reflection of property rights and a basic - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:42:36
