I'm a medical school dropout.
Thanks, brilliance of Matt GroeningTypically, this would have been something mentioned, my Dear Reader, after … oh … I don't know: say, two/three glasses of wine? I definitely didn't bring this up because it's a good conversational starter (it's not). Rather, it quickly caught your attention, and now we're discussing everybody's entitlement issues quite nicely – so all is well.
…oh, Wind . . . how I learnt ~ caresses ~ from ~ thee ~This certainly gives me exploitative access to quite a bit of computing power; fortunately, I stuck it out [i]just[/i] long enough to make a few lasting impressions… enter my friend with the small penis:

Abroad: 'Our clinic had 400 patients today! It amazes me how much I am learning from every patient interaction. When one actually witnesses almost every possible effect of AIDS, it's an image that never leaves you.'
Friend: 'Do you guys use Truvado? It's the new anti-AIDS medication that apparently costs $1000/month here, but only$15/month in certain countries.'
Well, here we continue on, subsidizing the world's healthcare while leaving our own brethren to rot from [the probable] worms of AIDS. Amerikuh,
fuck yeah.
Abroad: 'Hush up, Americans know nothing about the true horrors of AIDS...'
OK, well, the el.li.ps.es are sort of my thing… so at least learn to enter them in unicode; while you're too busy to be doing that, why don't you examine
why medicine has become so expensive in the United States (hint: individual end-users are unable to compete in a market where the only other stakeholders in town are the governments of practically every other country, the world over). Don't forget that generics are a no-no, in a game ruled by the biggest lobby in town… your training is coming along, nicely!
Certainly, other nations benefiting from collective science is a great thing (I am all for the free exchange of information, something that is
not happening in the oligarchical world of bioacademia). Please, let them have their Truvado –and swallow it, too! $15.00 per dose… FANTASTIC!
But, you see, Dear Friend, Africans know nothing about the true horror of POLITICS (except for that tiny 'incident' where their lands were partitioned with a former civility raped at the bequest of El Hefé, Conquistador). And patent law. And possibly trademarks, too!
A friend sits stateside, wormed with AIDS. Except for all those premiums, and taxes, and withholdings, and maybe if it weren't for the foreclosure, too – maybe then he could afford Truvado, too.
Wouldn't it make sense to abandon this capitalistic paradise, devoid of middle class, civility raped at the bequest of Big Pharma, Lobbyist? We treat other nations' strangers to a better rate than ourselves (e.g. 0.04USD gas prices in Iraq, at our cost, too!) – I just don't get it – why are we fucking ourselves – can't we be allowed fair price leveraging? People are
dying here, and 'risk analysts' are the not-so-distant hand…
Assange'has got Goliath by the balls right now… we're not talking no slingshot-bullshit. When will we Americans learn anything about the true bliss of distant equality in this supposed-to-be Xenophobia...' ? When the pigs bleed for the atrocities of the distant sick – when lives eventually
matter more than some blip on that ill-fated American stock portfolio – then we are all at peace and understanding in the world. Fifteen dollars everywhere, "here, here!"
Is anybody steering this ship? Is Diptera simply festering down below, awaiting its hunger to needlessly consume… ? Can some poor American faggot just get his $15.00 pill, too?
