Hi Joe, No, you're not the only one. But, I venture to say that we ARE in the minority. Regardless of whether you like, or how you interpreted his comments what he stated was just a fact. The design or pretense of the FDA (as I think of the entity) was to "protect" people against the alleged unscrupulous. The real question is....who will protect the people from the FDA.

I mean, where did you get the idea that we all need 'looking after'? I can fend quite well for myself thank you very much and can well do without the Government or any other regulatory body telling me what is 'for my own good'. How insulting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this. In fact, it is precisely the control freaks and manipulators that have brainwashed people into believing that they cannot make decisions for themselves. Please don't buy into that pretence, or repeat the misinformation. Thanks. Frankie --------------------------------- Sounds like? How many syllables? Guess and win prizes with Search Charades!
