At last a real sport comes to the USA

Hopefully the baseball, American football, basketball, etc. fans will forgive me for the title of this post but I grew up with football (called "soccer" in the US) and seeing David Beckham heading over to play for the LA Galaxy is brilliant (that's English for "awesome").

Another "Safe and Effective" Psychiatric drug found to be not so safe

Zyprexa is a "miracle" drug that made Eli Lilly roughly $4.2 billion last year. It now appears that Lilly knew of it's dangerous side-effects as far back as 1996 but failed to warn doctors. Law suits so far have cost Lilly an estimated $1.2 billion, but if you have made something on the order of $40 billion from sales of a drug who cares if you have to pay out a mere $1.2 billion to the people who have been damaged by it? The pharmaceutical & psychiatric industries seem to operate on the "ethical" principle that the profits justify the means.
