[Libertarianize the GOP]

Thomas Sowell is always right on the money.

Usually, but not always. I have a real hard time defending the pharmaceutical industry. We aren't just talking about supporting capitalism and rewarding their research. The pharmaceutical industry works hard, in concert with the FDA, to stifle competition, deny Americans truthful information, impede our ability to choose our own health care, and much more. The big Pharmaceutical Companies and the Government work together to suppress freedom. As one who apparently supports libertarian philosophy (based on your screen-name), you should not be so ready to support the pharmaceutical industry either.
