Sandi,
Thanks for expressing your Big Pharma thoughts.

That's big business for you...and absolute power corrupting absolutely anything and everything it can reach.

And this line of thinking is part of the problem.
It is NOT Big Business. It is the Govt that Makes Rules which Restrict the little guy in Favor of Big Business. The GOVT, not Business.
Imagine there was no FDA. The Stores would be able to Stock the Items That Sell - such as the effective natural non-patentable items. Big Pharma would have a Real Battle on its hands, wouldn't it.
BUT, THE GOVT makes a rule in favor of Big Pharma - usually because those making the rules have a vested interest. So Don't Blame Big Business, put the blame on those who create the situation... The Govt.
In fact, if you look closely at Bad Things which get attributed to Capitalism, you'll find Govt first and foremost which makes it happen that way. But the Govt - even the so-called right leaning conservatives - like it when business is blamed as it disguises and hides the real culprits... The Govt.
