Sigh! We pay the development costs. If Roche didn't include theirs in US prices, they'ld sell a lot more drugs. /BAH

Most ISPs in the US provide some sort of news access included in the service fee--$10 - $20 for dialup, and $30 - $40 for DSL. But then I'm sure BAH is going to trot out some sob story about how her ISP is *sooooo* much worse than anything anywhere else in the US.... Eric Lucas

Point. I haven't gone barefoot since I lived with my folks. Urban places have too much broken glass that never gets cleaned up. /BAH

An NHS does not and > will not work. That you feel justified in extrapolating from your first sentence to your second sentence is simply mind-boggling. You're saying "The US system is broken, therefore we cannot change it." It's like you look for ways for you personally to keep things from working the way that they're designed to. Eric Lucas |
