Be careful of who you might be offending by making blanket statements such
as you did. I live in the DC area and know some very dedicated people who
work or worked for the FDA - my husband included. I think what you are
angry at is the bureaucracy that determines speed and accessibility of new
drugs. On that point I agree with you.
