1. Negotiate? Fair? What kind of commie are you?

Freedom is on the march transferring millions from poor old people and tax payers to the pharma industry. (By the way, is this whole moral pharmacists movement some kind of weird quid pro quo between right wing factions? You give us money and we'll give your whacko base something to howl about?)
