Brazil is in the news. They've decided that it's criminal to claim 'intellectual property' for drugs which save lives - so they are going to clone some proprietary AIDS drugs to distribute for less than the nose-bleed prices currently charged. 

But wait, they are in the news yet again. Seems that the venom of an Amazon spider causes prolonged erections in men. Move over Viagra. This is even better.

I've got a solution to the first problem. The money lost to AIDS drugs can easily be replaced by middle aged men looking for a hot, sweaty night.

How about a trade?

A totally unrelated sideline I'll throw into this article because it's fresh on my brain... was in a rest room at a gas (petrol) station recently. Typical. A condom machine next to the sink. Looks just like any old gas station on the US interstate. Except for one difference. This one has a used hypodermic needle disposal bin. You'd never see that in Nebraska. They're quite common here. But it makes me wonder - is it because this society isn't quite so puritanical as the US that they're allowed to do this, or is it because they have a huge drug shooting problem?  Hmmm...
