Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.23.2004

Consumers Wind Up Victims Of Drug-Importers' Schemes
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.20.2004
Say what you will about the noise and inconvenience created by the East Coast cicadas. At least they disappear for 17 years. Here in California we have "consumer" leftists, who sadly do not depart even for 17 nanoseconds. Their noisemaking is constant and eternal.
Saying No to Foreign Drugs
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.1.2004
In this season of the campaign promises, pandering, and appeals to high principle, let's be candid: The process of wealth redistribution through the institutions of democratic politics combines all three beautifully. The latest manifestation of this art form is the current drive in Congress to facilitate the importation of "cheap" pharmaceuticals into the U.S. from Canada (and a number of other nations). This will purportedly reduce U.S. drug costs sharply, with no adverse effects upon future drug development or safety.
