"There's a far larger customer base for Wellbutrin, Prozac and Claritin than AIDS or cancer"

I don't buy that one.

I invest in several companies that have real promise in curing cancer (check out ARIAD Pharmaceuticals. They can shrink tumors in animals up to 90% no matter where they are in the body, by starving them. Hope it works on humans.) The market is huge. And, sure as shit, their scientists own shares and options in the company. Money makes the world go round. Even in communist russia why did the top 2% of the country, the leaders, have money. Only the other 98% were made to buy into that shared property bullshit. That worked real well.
