]]> Comment on This is justice? For who? by Shawn K. Quinn http://www.rantroulette.com/2009/08/this-is-justice-for-who/comment-page-1/#comment-1051 Shawn K. Quinn Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:56:41 +0000 http://www.shawnkquinn.com/?p=724#comment-1051 Thanks for the unique insight. For the record, this is the first time I have ever commented on a pharmacy-related story. I was commenting more from the perspective of "justice run amok" than "pharmacists are getting screwed." Not to say I disagree with the latter perspective at all, of course. Are there more cases like this involving the pharmacy profession that need light shined upon them? Thanks for the unique insight.

If Mr. Cropp was a physician, what would likely have happened?- a slap in the wrist and a small fine. Pharmacists do not stick together, never have, and but for the grace of God this could have happened to most of us. Not withstanding the terrible events, he made an error of judgement brought out by the fact that pharmacists are overworked and delegate to much to technicians. Unfortunately for the future, more technicians and fewer pharmacists will be the norm,and mistakes like this will be more likely to happen. Are pharmacists really that "lucky" Look at the real world and what is happening for a change! This shows you what kind of profession pharmacy has become.

Someone is wrong...but the sad truth is that the real truth will probably never see the light of day. The biggest crime in todays society is the ability for large corporations (and with the advent of the internet - smaller groups also) to bury the truth under layers of misinformation and lies. People pick up the banners of opinion on both sides of the arguement and go on these crusades when the plain truth is you can't really claim to be any more "in the know" as any other person in the discussion. You are folling yourself if you think otherwise. You are doing these companies work for them, wake up and realize this.

As much as you are damning Cato for being "secretly funded by Exxon"....that website you are using as "proof" is in itself suspect for having vested interest in the arguement. The problem is in situations like these, you get people like you and the other gentleman who spout facts...question each others facts...post websites or source material to back up and prove your facts.....but both cannot be true - there is so much misinformation out there; so many companies and organizations willing to falsify and lie to propogate their own beliefs that I don't know how either of you can accurately say "my sources are the right ones". The truth is neither of you know for sure that the sources you are pushing are entirely honest at all.

Fine they didn't explin fully who is funded by who....but how is that in any way a gaffe about any claim they made about organic food? I fail to see how tis is a "food gaffe" though.
