How many people do you want to see die before anything happens? It's
pretty obvious you haven't had anything to do with the law or else
you'd know the wheels turn slowly. Who would make the investigations
and who would do the studies? Do you really expect the industry to
police themselves? That's like putting the fox in charge of the hen
house. People were upset enough over pets dying from contaminated dog
food and now you want them to lose human loved ones just so you can
have "less" government? I think not.
