It 's Time to RevelStoke

Since recieveing so much advice regarding "taking a hike", I secretly set off on a pilgrimage to Canada's Mount Revelstoke... to stoke my revel.

I just come down off the mountain. It was an amazing full day Trip up the mountain and back ... stoking and reveling the entire way... I thought I'd never get back and infact ... I'm not sure I'm back yet. I can't feel my legs; is that OK. I only saw 3 people all day on the mountain and I don't think any of them saw me because I was an invisable God today... :)

I've checked into a wireless camprground and intend to sit here for awhile because this will take several days to recover from.

How do you stoke your revel?

So, of course they don't want to be responsible for paying for the healthcare of their employees. That's why everytime a major labor contract comes up for negotiations the companies have been taking the offensive by demanding unions to accept LESS healthcare benefits. The best solution for both would be Universal Healthcare but that requires employers and heathcare recipients to take on the Pharmaceutical Lobby ...

Filmed at the BioTech 2005 Counter Conference in Philadelphia between June 18th -21st; this panel discussion video Features Pedro Rodriguez (Action Alliance for Senior Citizens); Beth McConnel (Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group: PennPIRG) on VIOXX; Adam Tsai, MD (Physicians for a Natonal Healthcare Program) and Mike Susko (Citizens for Responsible Care and Research).

Drug Companies buy FDA approval for drugs like VIOXX with hefty fees that are necessary to fund the agency and they use partial discloser and outright lies in clinical tests supporting their products benefits. They are driven by profit; employing an army of professional liars to persuade doctors to prescribe profitable medications to patients who don't need them, regardless of adverse effects.
