That’s more than most presidential candidates and political parties have.

I thought (in a ideal world) Congress, the medical profession, research scientists, scholars and learned community leaders were the head scratchers, and these guys the bulls?

Why would a research scientist need to apply to an enforcement agency to study a substance, which they routinely deny because they have a position?

When two sides to a story only work for one side, it is called lopsided, a monopoly.

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems to me a little like the old western movies where a particular commercial association in the territories, purchases its own laws in the form of mercenaries, regulators, you know, like in Clint Eastwood in “Pale Rider.” Their position is busting heads, threatening third party commercial interests, throwing terminally ill people in jail and denying opposition research. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck . . . maybe it is a duck, no?
