It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Read the article again. It does not sy it has been pulled off of the market, only that it has been linked to other problems and the GREEDY corp. has discontinued making it. That sounds to me like responsible action till they can find out if there really is a problem.

um ya ezze i agree with most things you post but the artical clearly says they have suspected problems since its introduction and now have proof that it can cause pf. a non GREEDY company would stop selling and recall all of the effected product immediately. to continue to sell a product that knowingly causes an animal to become sick is pure corporate GREED

Let me go a step further for you. A company is a name given to a business. Greed is a thought process. Companies don't have a brain and can't think. People have a brain and are possibly the only animal that can think and because of that are the only animal that can or does exhibit greed. The company is owned by a lot of people. And out of those people a few have positions that allow them to make decisions. Those people might be greedy but since the actions of the company does not effect their thought process directly or immediately it will have little effect on them personally. Just comes down to the fact that companies do not exhibit greed since a company in just a piece of paper. Greed is exhibited occasionally by individuals who are in a position to benefit from their greed.

However, the term greed today is normally a word that many people use to describe someone or something doing exactly what they are supposed to do rather than what we feel would benefit our wants and desires. Remember greed is always exhibited by someone other than ourselves. Your neighbor may thing you are greedy for wanting a raise when they aren't getting one. If you don't believe this just listen to how many people in congress are calling you greedy for not wanting to pay higher taxes to help support themselves or someone to lazy to work.

You may think the company should do things differently but it has nothing to do with greed unless you buy into the polital use of the word that says you aren't doing something I think you should.

Bottom line, ProMeris was always a problem from the get go with our clinics. We didn't sell it and dropped it months ago.
