OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Frances O. Kennedy, antibusiness flunky.

Watch out, Hatch; it's going to take a while to get a signal to Kolob.

Quoth Megan McArdle:

QuoteThe FDA is notoriously risk averse when it comes to new drugs, a legacy of events like the Thalidomide horrors, when pointless foot-dragging on the approval accidentally protected American mothers from limbless babies.

QuoteMoreover, though it may sound un-libertarian, I'm not clear why the companies are in charge of the drug testing

Um...speaking as a former employee of a CRO, they usually aren't. They just finance the thing. A third party runs the testing.
