Should there only be one company making gear?

People in the middle ages didn't get old enough to contract a multitude of today's diseases. Increasing life span is because of medical science. There has never been a cure for a viral disease, so immunizations are used to "trick" physiology. Small Pox has been erradicated and Polio is on its way because of science and because of financial means. If any of you knew the complexity involved in curing, you may not have the expectations that lead you to insult an institution. Also science costs a lot of money. If one knows in the ins-and-outs of financial mess then one can judge the degree or who is at fault. I know about the patient and mal-practice insurance, which is a chain reaction hell, but there is no easy solution. My point is money is a problem, but the scientists and MD's, in general, have done a hell of a job.

It is kinda interested to see where this thread as evolved

Think about it; If there were no boners, would AIDS be the epedimic that
it is? I don't think so. I'm not saying H.T. Boner and his family are at
fault, not at all. I do feel sorry for H.T. Boner's children...the 'little'
boners. I guess H.T. was a little boner once himself. Now H.T.'s boner
is the reason there are more little Boners suffering the torments of their
classmates ridicule. If I were H.T. I would have cut it off at the source
and not subjected more children to suffering the legacy of being a little
Boner. And then, later in life, just a "Boner". A man can get
that fixed you know. The elder Boner could just get the damn thing
snipped inside and take the clams outta' his man chowder so they don't
go makin' no more lil' Boner's with the missus. That, or I'd have legally
changed my name to something less provocative...like Bush perhaps.
