Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting: Combating the Real Danger from Fake Drugs

It certainly seems like an entertaining novelty to be provided with a record with a genuine ethos to be decoded, at least. Somehow, despite the rise of internet culture supposedly turning us into wise, informed and generally right-on consumers, we’ve made a wrong turn somewhere along the way, and have found ourselves at a place where irony and semantics are more important than rational discussion; where articles can be published that somehow manage to keep a straight-face while claiming that Vice magazine is making an important contribution to modern journalism. Given such a toxic environment, it’s perhaps not a surprise that rock n roll - that archetypal ideal of rebellion and self-expression – is looking fairly sick in itself. If you manage to get past the decidedly bloated husks of baby-boomer heroes who just won’t go away, practically any attempt to find a bright young hope merely turns up a bunch of identikit, well-connected, insular, straight (in every sense of the word) guys who have precisely anything to say, and (here’s the kicker) are entirely unashamed about this. Yes, perhaps ‘twas ever thus, but what’s worrying is that no-one seems to care anymore; the term ‘revolutionary’ is now more likely to be wheeled out in discussions of funding models than actual content.

Merry Jesus' Birthday!
