When anyone complaints against the excessive pricing of their products by drug companies, or their dictatorial control of the medicine market, he will be answered with this explanation/justification:
“If you don’t allow us our pricing liberty or our control of the market, we will not be able to do research and development of medicines, which one day you will need in order to save you from death brought about from a disease that should have been checked by medicines we are researching on and developing.”
Now, consider this explanation/justification from Bush and company every time someone questions the necessity or the propriety of all its acts subsequent to and in connection with 9/11:
This decision and action is needed and appropriate for the guard of the U.S.A., so that every American can sleep soundly at night, and also to secure our intelligence resources and assets.”
Beware, these are examples of argumentum ad metum tremendum, arguing from the terrible fear of death in your psyche.
The way to answer this argument is to examine how much on the contrary of deaths result from the policies of drug companies as from Bush and his colleagues.
