That goes along with the stupid statement that goes "If it saves just one life, it's worth it". What a bunch of crap!!!

Brian's example of cost analysis speaks volumes!!! If a solution (a new drug, i.e.) saves "X" number of people at an economical cost to all involved, super! But, when it costs $10M per life, who in the decision-making process is smoking all of the crack???

It's all about power.

Pessimist - Sees glass as half-empty. Optimist - Sees glass as half-full. Gov't- Sees glass and takes it from you because you have a glass.
