This guy has been a lobbyist for Big Pharma and the health insurance industries.<br /><br />At any rate, such people have always existed and will continue to exist as long as there is big money to be made by skillfully lying.<br /><br />This guy I'm referring to does know at some level that has become a disgusting human, but I think he tries to paper it over with pseudo community service and other such things.<br /><br />It doesn't work, but that doesn't stop him trying.<br /><br />At the end of the day, people like him are great examples for the rising generation of what not to become.John Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222958547864356881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-91212584532713368612012-06-02T10:02:25.219-04:002012-06-02T10:02:25.219-04:00Mr. Hicks, it's been a great morning.

It’s actually a must see, because there’s absolutely no excuse for not understanding the extent of crimes committed by the corporate empire with our taxes and the propaganda used to disguise it:<br />http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2012/06/democracy-is-just-slogan.html<br /><br />And then this wonderful article. Not even noon yet! Bodes well for a lovely weekend...Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.com
