 RH> And as we in the Baby Boomer generation age, there will be more and
 RH> more money spent on drugs.

And, if you take things to their logical conclusion, you'll
invest in things like nursing homes, orthopedic paraphernalia,
and life extension crackpottiness. Carol just read me that
there's an Alzheimer's drug now ...

 Also, as research finds ways to if not cure,
 RH> at least arrest some of our medical problems with pharmacutical
 RH> answers, there will always be a major drug industry.  One of my friends

 RH> more from an artifical knee joint.

I agree with this analysis but must point out that there is an
incentive for the medical industry to drag its feet on development,
so that it can milk an idea for an extended period of time - of
course, that gives the other companies incentive. This makes the
drug industry into a sort of intellectual arbitrage, which is
something I don't care for.

Not to mention that we're going to England, where it's
supposed to be (depending on whom you ask) between 85 and
93, fine with my father but not so fine for Carol and me.
