Natural News has learned it all coincides with a well-timed for-profit corporate P.R. campaign that has been planned for months and just happens to coincide with the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision on the viability of the BRCA1 patent.<br /><br />Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/040365_Angelina_Jolie_gene_patents_Supreme_Court_decision.html#ixzz2UoWTrmzyStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373499755338709217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-19815313157489896512013-05-27T17:36:47.867-04:002013-05-27T17:36:47.867-04:00Pausing a moment, as a fantasy writer is bound to,...Pausing a moment, as a fantasy writer is bound to, and constructing a storyline on your hypothetical:<br /><br />Berlusconi is the symptom, not the disease. The Devil takes your soul, laughing, and consigns you to everlasting fire, whilst tempting some other Italian politician to do his evil work in Berlusconi’s place. Nothing changes on a large scale. On the small scale, Hell is one soul the richer; two souls, if Franco Urru’s extra term of life can be turned to what Screwtape would have called productive use.Tom Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067031472666752839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-17685405099681871982013-05-27T17:02:43.421-04:002013-05-27T17:02:43.421-04:00What matters is not that we die but when.

If, for instance, the Devil offered me to exchange the death dates of my best friend Franco Urru (dead at 52 from lung cancer, from the only stupid and destructive thing he ever did in his whole life - smoking) and of Silvio Berlusconi (still alive and disastrous in his seventies; if he had died at 52 the country would have been saved twenty years of misrule), I'd gladly sell my soul in exchange.F.P.Barbierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758644014524735007noreply@blogger.com
