Do Doctors, And Pharmaceutical Companies Really want Cures?

     So I see a lot of different doctors for different illness, and one day I was in a store named Wal Mart, and I started to think to myself "Do Doctors, And Pharmaceutical Companies Really want Cures?" Now on first hand of the thought was well of course they do, I mean why would they not want a cure for things such as A.I.D.S, Diabetes. and other sicknesses?  Well because it comes down to one word, and that word is money.

     When I say money I don't mean how much it might cost for these cures, but I mean the money they would lose. Think about this if they could come up with a cure for let's say Diabetes there would no longer be a need for  Endocrinologist, and there would be no need for the medication, or for any of the other products that go along with it, and trust me there is a lot of items sold in stores especially for Diabetics that would other wise have no purpose.

Diabetics be in joy to be able to go back to the sugar cereals!!!!

      

and corporations would lose lots of money, and in the words of The Wu-Tang Clan, the legendary Hip Hop group, "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" and trust me as much as we hate to admit it cash is more valuable to them than human lives, but what about the people that do try to find cures?

     Of course in the wicked world of reality is the reality that there are those who are trying hard to find a cure for cancer(s), A.I,D.S and so on, or at least a vaccine, and to those people I take my hat off to for all their efforts, but sadly they are just a small pixel on the big screen t.v of life, and as long as the corporate world controls the money they will control things. Pretty much the Pharmaceutical Companies have a monopoly, and that monopoly is on the drug world.

Buy your drugs from me, because it's legal....

     The Pharmaceutical Companies are like your drug dealers in the city, but the only difference is it's all legal, in fact it works the same way, the doctors are the drug lord who controls the drug trade, the drug companies are the drug dealers with the drugs, and you are the consumer that buys them, and it's all legal, but you know what's funny, the same way a person on illegal drugs will want something stronger in time so too do the people on legal drugs, and sometimes they make people go to rehab for those drugs, but lots of times they just end up giving them more drugs, but hey it's legal....but let's look at this from another perspective.

     If they did find a way to cure every sickness that might mean more people without jobs causing poverty to go up, and so on, but who are we trying to fool? It's pretty much impossible to find a cure for most anything, hell even the Black Death is still around, so yeah it's greed.

     In closing, there are people who work their lives to find cures, or at least a vaccine for major, and minor illnesses such as Jonas Edward Salk, the person who discovered the vaccine for polio, because they care about the good of man, but sadly that world is controlled by the big drug companies, and the doctors who know if a cure was found for what ever they were a doctor for they be out of a job, as would other type of companies who makes tons of money from this world, so to answer my question, it is yes, and no, and that is the world we live in today, and the world your grandparents lived in, and grandchildren will be a part of.

Ching Shih

   

     Lots of people like pirates, and when you think of pirates you think of people such as Black Beard, Capitan Morgan (Maybe, because he has this drink named after him) Capitan Crunch and Captain Jack Sparrow, and others....okay the last two are made up, and one of them might not even be a pirate (as far as I know, like maybe they are both based on a real person?) but the first two are not, and both are legends along with other real life pirates, but here's a funny thing both of them, or any pirate for that matter would tremble in fear to the most ruthless and powerful pirate in the history of the world, Ching Shih, and you want to know a fact about this pirate? well take a look at this pirate.

     That's right the pirate was a woman, and she did not play around, and and that could be why Morgan has this rum drink named after him, because he feared this pirate would take his booty, so he got drunk to deal with this fear.



     So maybe you want to know a little about her career, well read this for Wikipedia, the famouse info website, "The fleet under her command established hegemony over many coastal villages, in some cases even imposing levies and taxes on settlements. According to Robert Antony, Ching Shih "robbed towns, markets, and villages, from Macau to Canton." In 1806 a British officer reported on the terrible fate of those who resisted Ching Shih's pirates. The pirates had nailed an enemy's feet to the deck and then beaten him senseless Contemporary reports from the British admiralty called her “The Terror of the South China."


     The Chinese navy lost sixty-three ships in the attacks. The Red Flag Fleet under Ching Shih's rule could not be defeated — not by Chinese officials, not by the Portuguese navy, and not by the British. Finding it hopeless to defeat her, in 1810, amnesty was offered to all pirates, and Ching Shih took advantage of it She ended her career that year, accepting an amnesty offer from the Chinese government. She kept her loot, and opened a gambling house. She died in 1844, at the age of 69.


     Yeah, she did not uckfay around!!!!
