More importantly what a shitty government. The FDA has probably slowed the progress of medicine 2nd only to Hippocrates with bloodletting. If there is a cure for cancer or HIV, it'll never make it past the buraeaucratic red tape from some government hack with a doctorate in public administration. Especially if they have seen "I Am Legend".

Sure, bad shit will come out, but if you are dumb enough to say get a pig's liver from a "doctor" in southeast Asia or feel that praying is going to save you then good riddance to you.

The author gets wildly hyperbolic at the end there. "The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the U.S.A. for 12 years!" Medicare on its own cost about $600 billion in 2008. The largest number I have seen given to the annual elicit drug trade throughout the entire world, even when based on their inflated "street value", is less that.

Real thugs wear ski masks, carry automatic rifles, and steal shit they didn't earn.

Probably a cop. Probably better that his exaggerations are at the keyboard, and not the rifle.
