Michael, I realize you're not in this country and see things develop as we do therefore your conclusions will make sense to you but not to those of us who are here and see what goes on.

In this particular case it really IS big business, ie: the pharmaceuticals, that are calling the shots. They have deep pockets and tons of 'pull' on Capitol Hill and elsewhere with large numbers of lobbyists and other resources mom and pop businesses only dream of (or have nightmares about).

My statement is not part of the problem. It is an attempt to awaken the sleepy folks to what is really happening. It was Big Pharma who proposed, indirectly through their agents (lobbyists) the legislation that allowed them to forego sharing negative findings. When you have the fox guarding the hen house, the inevitable happens more often than not.
