Kudos to Wal-Mart!
......[c]2006 by
Richard L Zorek....10.27.06.......
Wal-Mart has announced that consumers in Kansas and Missouri will be able to take part in its discount-drug program. "We believe this program is one to make medication more affordable and accessible to the people who need it most," Wal-Mart's Kelly Barnes said. And if I have ever criticized a Wal-Mart store for anything, I may just take it all back for this move. Starting Thursday (10/27/06), 30-day supplies of 143 drugs will be sold for $4 at all Wal-Marts and Sam's Clubs stores in the metro. "We estimate that this list of $4 prescription medications represents nearly 25 percent of all prescriptions we currently dispense in our pharmacies across the nation," Barnes said. When I first heard about this plan, I had hoped it would spark some competition between pharmacists and help to bring the cost of medications down. Apparently it has. Target has said it will also offer cheaper generic drugs soon, and a group of independent pharmacies has developed a plan to offer their customers cheaper generics as well.

Please Remove the $140 Million Building..
.......[c]2006 by
Richard L Zorek....10.24.06........Circuit Judge Joseph P. Dandurand, on Tuesday said state regulators overstepped their authority in May when they approved an Aquila Inc. power plant near Peculiar and reinstated his order to tear it down. Aquila will appeal. If Aquila is allowed to keep the $140 million facility it will set a very bad precedent. Companies could come in without proper authority and build, knowing they will eventually win the right in court. It's kind of like eminent domain with a twist.

How Many More Will Die?
.......[c]2006 by
Richard L Zorek....10.22.06.........44 more people killed in Iraq, or so the report is today. The numbers are staggering. Without arguing the merits or non-merits of the war, I do have to wonder how other civilized countries of the world can sit around and listen to the reports of the bloodshed and yet offer to do nothing about it.
