It's a big issue. Counterfeiting techniques are becoming more refined. It is very difficult to tell if [a drug] is counterfeit.

It's a bad idea. These medications come from all over the world. They come without FDA [federal Food and Drug Administration] approval. Some come from countries that are known for making substandard or counterfeit medications. The safety of the American drug supply is in question.

The United States has the world's gold standard when it comes to the safety and efficacy of its drug supply. Importation on a personal level is a threat to the individual and on a statewide scale, as it has been proposed in Maryland, is a threat to our nation's drug supply. Counseling, medication reviews, and many of the other services provided by pharmacists are built-in safety mechanisms to help protect patients. Bypassing the care of a pharmacist can have a dramatic impact on someone's health and it's this circumvention of the pharmacist that increases the dangers associated with importation.

Have you ever been married? Had that thing of someone calling you by a name not your own? It's unsettling. It's like a fictitious person.

How does a woman in authority convey that authority? Is it possible for a woman to rule without sounding shrill? Is it possible for a woman to manage without manipulating? All of these things seem to me to be very much at the fore today, and were no less the case 2,000 years ago.

The government can't create jobs; they'll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn't have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy.
