    Spike, don't count biotech down and out yet -- yes
    there are obstacles but it only takes a couple of
    "miracle" drugs like Gleevec and that will change
    very very rapidly. When push comes to shove -- people
    will vote with what keeps them alive. Most of the
    counter-trends you cite are going to have a very
    difficult time making a concrete case in that area.
    So we aren't fighting a battle of substance but
    a battle of volume. Difficult yes -- but one would
    at least hope that in the long run that "reality" talks.
