At what cost? Putting aside legal issues for the moment, it seems like the choice is between an expensive prescription drug and a plant which can potentially be grown in their own back yard by anyone who wants to use it, at no cost - and no profit to drug companies.

Would you take them?

I did. they were very tasty
Of course I would... I used to do that all the time when I worked in factories, because the vending guys were just going to toss them anyway, so they'd "throw me a bone".

Aloha -

If that were the case, I'd have just taken the damn vending machine, and made money, so I could afford to buy food, rather than taking it from "garbage". LOL.

Some fat American would buy stuff from my vending machine, guaranteed.

En Garde!

Why would I want to sell the machine? I'm into keeping investments which pay for themselves. Speaking of V-Machines, I'm actually looking into buying a couple.

I think it is his decision whether to live off of no money or not. But... when he starts to use public computers and use the public resources he instantly becomes a debt himself. Not putting anything into the system while taking away from it.

Lol, like all those folks who have not donated to ecomodder?

I do not begrudge the guy from using his online voice. As much as there many people would rather not hear from him, there is little alternative for presenting the alternatives.

And I don't really think that everyone else is putting more into the system than they take out for that matter. Borrowing an unused terminal at the library is nothing.
