My dad died of cancer a few years ago and it's astounding how little we've done for cancer (and disease) treatment in general. But we can manufacture boner pills at the drop of a hat. Then again, the greedy doctors and hospitals and the medicine community at general woulfd lose out on all the money we pay for treatments and medicine. So true.

It promotes mediocrity and incompetence - performance based pay is the only way (capitalism at its finest)! OBTW, unions are the biggest roadblock to implementing performance based reward systems and in my opinion are one of the reasons our country's economy is in the toilet.

You've just made a stellar point as to how ineffective and utterly pointless gun control laws are. As for the "cleaning up our mess", any of these would make good starting points: legalize drugs, put up a fence along the US/Mexican border, allow border patrol agents to use deadly force, crack down on ILLEGAL immigration (not legal immigration).
