| Message | Medication IS different other products in that it can mean life or death for our citizens. This includes the poor citizens. This is why NPMP prefers to retain the status-quo and continue to subsidize such things. |
| Date | 10:55:25, June 26, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the VBS - Free Market Medication |
| Message | Well, making it unregulated doesn't mean the medication will be too expensive - if it would be too expensive, nobody would be able to buy it and T&T would face bancrupcy. |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
