Hi Billy, Given that your stated position is that money spent on medical research is wasted, I would be interested in your thoughts on the following: 1. Where would the money be better spent. 2. If your answer to 1. is that it should not be collected in the 1st place - do you think any govt anywhere is likely to actually reduce taxes (as opposed to just finding new ways of collecting them). 3. Do you oppose medical research because: a) you believe there is nothing more to learn b) you disapprove in principle c) you feel that interfering with the 'survival of the fittest' rule is dangerous. d ) It's a great way to get the list stirred up. e) something not mentioned above. 4. If your answer to Qu.3 is b. or c. would you agree that we can do away with doctors,nurses, naturopaths physio's, in fact anyone involved in the health industry. (Sorry. Stupid of me. As there has never been any medical research there are no doctors etc to do away with). Thanks, Dennis. ++++++++++++++++++++ Dennis Greene 47/10 [log in to unmask] ++++++++++++++++++++
